The IECG World Championship is not an open tournament, players cannot request participation themselves, they are invited to attend based on the conditions described in our IECG rules, section D.9.1
This page should give you the latest information about the IECG World Championship Stages. It should be updated every couple of days just before a new stage starts, and less regularly in the meantime. To make the search easier, this page has been divided in four sections:
I.- General remarks
II.- IECG World Championship schedule - Upcoming tournaments:
III.- Qualification lists for the oncoming tournament:
IV.- IECG World Champions
I.- General remarks
Dear chess friends, the invitations to the IECG World Championship 2011 Semi-Final have been sent to the qualified players. Please also note that, due to my unexpected leaf, this event has been postponed one week so the new dates are as follows,
| Due date to answer the invitation | October 12, 2008 |
| Start List submissions | October 15, 2008 |
| Tournemnt Starting Date | October 22, 2008 |
Please verify the tables in the section III below
and remember that....If you are on this list, but the column "Wrong Address"
shows a "Yes", please get in contact with me urgently! Also If anybody knows the
address of such player, please also inform me at the same address!
The Qualification lists have been also updated, and I will continue doing so
while getting confirmations of attendance.
Please let me know if you have any doubt or question, specially if you think
that you should be included in the table.
VERY IMPORTANT! If you are in the list and you have not
received the invitation, please let me know,
My best regards,
Hector Mujica
