A couple of important changes to the list above...new dates and venues are...
European Senior Chess Championship 2019
Rhodes, Greece
5-Apr-2019
15-Apr-2019
World Senior Team Championships 50+ & 65+
Rhodes, Greece
15-Apr-2019
25-Apr-2019
and also the...
European Amateur Chess Championship 2019
Rhodes, Greece
5-Apr-2019
15-Apr-2019
As far as the senior events go, this means that anyone wanting to play both European Individual seniors and the World Team seniors is looking at a 20-day+ stretch in Rhodes :/
...and have just had a quick FB reply about the changes from the organiser Nikos Kalesis...
Q: Hi Nikos, These dates and venues are changed from just last week on the FIDE website Nikos :/ and now Euro Individual and World Team are back-to-back, one ending and the next starting on the same day?'
A: 'It was a long discussion between FIDE, ECU and the organizers of the other senior events.It looks like finally this was the best solution with the dates. One point is that senior players can participate in 2 senior events with one air ticket (there is a free day with an excursion provided by the organizers between the 2 events)'
