    Default World Youth U-16 Chess Olympiad 2014 Győr (Hungary) 12-22 December

    to all chess federations affiliated to FIDE

    Honoured Mrs./Mr. President,

    Dear Madam/Sir,

    The Hungarian Chess Federation has the pleasure to invite one team of your Chess Federation to participate in the World Youth U-16 Chess Olympiad 2014, Győr (Hungary) 12-22 December.

    Having received the information that the formerly appointed federation had resigned from the organisational position we are delighted to host this important event. The venue of the tournament is the Győr which city could boast not only of its extremely rich cultural heritage but of its high standard hotels as well, near the university premises where the tournament will take place. The city is easily accessible since it is in the heart of Europe not far from Budapest, Vienna and Bratislava airports and it has got direct train contacts to all directions in Europe.

    All participants will be accommodated in well-equipped hotels (four or at least three stars hotels). All hotels provide three meals in buffet system where the guests will be able to chose both from hot and cold meals. The Hungarian cuisine is famous for its delicious special dishes (for example Gulash soup or pancake with spicy meat) but the meals will also offer standard dishes and rich variety of green salad and other vegetarian food accepted worldwide.

    The weather is usually pleasant even in December with a daily average temperature between 0 and + 5°C.

    You are welcome to Győr and welcome to Hungary.

    We will issue some informative brochures about the city and its high level cultural life you could enjoy soon.

    You can download the Tournament Rules and the registration forms at: http://www.fide.com/index.php?option...alview&aid=968
    through the FIDE web.

    The official website will be set up soon: http://wyco2014.chess.hu

    You can apply for more info via E-mail: wyco2014@chess.hu

    I honestly hope to meet you and your team in December in Győr and wish you an effective preparation until then.

    Yours Sincerely,

    Dr. Miklós Seszták
    President of the Hungarian Chess Federation

    Michael Barron has been working his email list. We have been talking to a few people. We'll probably know a bit more by Monday.

    So far the following players expressed their interest:
    Richard Wang,
    Razvan Preotu,
    Michael Song, and
    Mark Plotkin,
    with Victor Plotkin as Team Captain.

    Still there are a few issues, which, hopefully, will be solved soon - with the help of CFC Office and Youth Coordinator.
    Thanks,
    Michael Barron

    Thank you Michael! The Executive is working with Rene Preotu, who has compiled a selection rating list similar to that of the Olympiad. We are still seeking and sorting details, but it looks promising.
