2016 Olympiad - andyburnett - 26-11-2015
The 42nd World Chess Olympiad is due to take place in Baku, Azerbaijan from 17 September-2016 until 30 September 2016 and Chess Scotland will be looking to field teams in the Open and Women's events as is usual.
In order to make travel and other arrangements as early as possible, would interested parties please contact me as soon as possible. I would hope to have teams selected by the end of January 2016.
I realise this is very early, but those not selected also need time to reply to alternative tournament organisers, as well as for the reasons mentioned above.
Interested parties include prospective players, team captains, potential selectors, potential sponsors at any level, those with knowledge of travelling to Azerbaijan and anyone who might be interested in coaching prior to the events.
Kind regards,
Andy Burnett (CS International Director)
