World Rapid+Blitz abgesagt (?)
Die FIDE sucht kurzfristig einen neuen Ausrichter für die Weltmeisterschaft im Rapid und Blitz, die Ende des Jahres in Kasachstan stattfinden sollte. Mitteilung der FIDE:
"The FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Championships will not be held in Kazakhstan in December. The Government of Kazakhstan & the Kazakh Chess Federation regret the inconveniences caused by this cancellation, and they have expressed their willingness to hold the event next year. The reason for the cancellation is the new COVID restrictions recently enforced by the government of Kazakhstan, which impose mandatory 7 days quarantine for many potential participants, making their participation impossible. The list of countries affected by the mandatory quarantine measure has been expanding over the past few days. FIDE is urgently examining alternative host cities and will publish an update towards the end of the week."
Findet statt, ab 25. Dezember in Warschau.
Anmeldung ab sofort möglich:
