Dear Players / International Open
tournament organizers
Mr. Ignatius leong, General Secretary of FIDE with the help from
Asian Continental President Mr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifah Al-Nehyan
has come up with a proposal to organize Asian Pro Tour chess
tournaments. The rules and regulations which govern them and
other details are given below for your reference. Organizers of
Open International tournaments are free to write to AICF if they
want to be part of pro-tour. Mr.Soumen Mazmuder of Alekhine
Chess Club has already indicated his willingness to be part of
it. We understand that not more than one tournament from a
country will be included in the cycle. In order to have an idea
about how many Indian players will be interested in this, we
solicit feedbacks from players on this program.
Your willingness to be part of the Pro tour may be conveyed to
AICF by email immediately.
