Dear chessfriends,

All participants are 132 and they come from 18 countries. Seven (7) rounds
will take place in knock-out system.
The first four rounds will be of 2 games each. The 5th and 6th round will be
consisted of 4 games. In the 7th round in which positions 1 – 6 will be played
the number of games will be the following:
Positions 1 – 2: 6 games. Positions 3 – 4 and 5 – 6: 4 games.
In the 3rd round the number of participants will be necessarily 32.
We want to stress out that each round will last for 3 days and the games will
be completed within the first day. The other 2 days will be used for the
necessary postponement of games. We also stress out that: Postponements will
be requested, except for an emergency (excuse that will be accepted only once
for each player), before the previous round and they will be submitted to the
Chief Arbiter Mr. Evangelos Bardis. E-mail: bardisev@in.gr & bardisev@yahoo.gr
Games will start at 20:00 (Greek time – GMT 18:00) or Internet time @791
In the 1st round, we used directed drawn of lots for the Asia and America
zones in order to make things easier for some players because of the
significant difference of time, at least at the beginning of the Championship.
Welcome to the 1st On-Line Chess Championship in
Greece. Good game to all of you!

Dear friends,
The Organize Committee has decided to extend the registration dates to
10/2/2002
We announce with great pleasure that "NATIONAL"
ORGANIZÁÔÉÏÍ SYSTEMS S.A. is the official sponsor of the 1st Internet Chess
Championship in Greece and has offered 2.934 Euros towards the prizes.
Athens, 3/12/2001,
Dear friends,
We have the pleasure to announce to you the first on-line Championship in Greece
and to thank you for the love you have shown to us so far. The Championship is a
dream we had for many years and has not come true until now. Being aware of the
possibilities the Internet has offered us, we put our faith in and prospected a
website where our favorite game could be played even by people who, in spite of
their love for the game, were too busy to play it. Apollo, the first Chess
Server, came into life three years ago, but could not handle a large number of
chess players. During its first year of test operation (2000-2001) 4,200 chess
players from all over the world have registered and that motivated us to hurry
to upgrade it. At last, with the New Year and, more specifically, toward the end
of the first two months, the first Internet Championship is real.
Evidently, participation applications are free of charge and the deadline for
their submission expires on 15/1/2002. We believe that we will come up to your
expectations for a strong championship of high quality. We, the persons who have
joined efforts to make this happen, hope that by organizing that Championship we
will acquire the necessary experience that will allow us to “swim” into deeper
waters with you.
Finally, we inform you that after the expiration of the deadline for
participation in the games you will be notified of the procedure that will be
followed and the money prizes. This is due to the fact that the exact number of
players is not known yet. For potential changes or news we will let you know by
e-mail or through this home page.
The Organizing Committee is composed of the following persons:
• Mina Georgiadou
• Ioannis Goumas
• Argiris Kotsis
• Evangelos Bardis
• Vassilios Sinanidis
Andreas Andreou is responsible for programming
Best regards,
