To all National Chess Federations
Dear chess friends,
the FIDE General Assembly in Dresden approved the REGULATIONS FOR THE TRAINING OF THE CHESS ARBITERS ( see : FIDE Handbook, B.05 : “Regulations for the titles of Arbiter”, paragraph 7, Annex 1 ) and the REGULATIONS FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE ARBITERS ( see : FIDE Handbook, B.05 : “Regulations for the titles of Arbiter”, paragraph 8, Annex 2 ).
Regarding the REGULATIONS FOR THE TRAINING OF THE CHESS ARBITERS, actually they are in effect after Turin General Assembly (2006), but I would like to draw your attention to the Article 6.1, according which there will be examination fees for every participant in the Seminars and FIDE will invoice the organizing federation accordingly, after the approval of the report of the Seminar.
Regarding the REGULATIONS FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE ARBITERS, the Arbiters’ Council kindly asks for the cooperation of all national chess Federations, in order to produce the lists of the Arbiters of every category and bring them for approval by the FIDE General Assembly or Executive Board, in the next Congress.
For this purpose every Federation is kindly requested to produce the lists of their Active and Inactive International Arbiters (IA) and FIDE Arbiters (FA) and then to classify their Active IAs and FAs to Categories (A’, B’, C’ and D’), according to the approved regulations.
All these lists shall be sent to the Arbiters’ Council ( Chairman: Panagiotis Nikolopoulos, takisnik@yahoo.com, Secretary: Dirk De Ridder, ECU_DirkDeRidder@skynet.be, Member: Werner Stubenvoll, Werner.stubenvoll@liwest.at ), which will check the Federations’ proposals regarding the classification of their Arbiters, produce the lists of all the Arbiters (from all federations) of every Category and present them in the next FIDE Congress (June 2009), for the final approval by the General Assembly (or Executive Board).
The Federations are kindly requested to send their lists to the Arbiters’ Council until 10 May 2009.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
With best regards
IA Panagiotis Nikolopoulos
Chairman
FIDE Arbiters’ Council
