PRELIMINARIES OF THE 9th LADIES’ CC OLYMPIAD

March 21st 2011

Dear Chessfriends,

As you will know, the Preliminaries of the 8th Ladies’ Correspondence Chess
Olympiad were cancelled because only 11 member federations were able to play.
Consequently, all of those eleven federations were invited to contest the Final.

Before the official announcement of the 9th Ladies Olympiad Preliminaries, I wish
to verify whether there are enough Federations prepared to play in this
tournament.

- The tournament will be played on ICCF webserver.

- It is planned to start the preliminary stage on 10th September.
- There will be four (4) lady players in each team.
- The entry fee is € 17,00 per player.

At the discretion of the ICCF Executive Board, combined teams consisting of

players from those countries with low levels of correspondence chess activity may
be entered.

I would appreciate if you could consider this matter urgently and respond at your
earliest convenience - and in any case not later than 10th April 2011 - advising
whether your Federation intends to participate in this Preliminary stage.

AMICI SUMUS!
