Fide Arbiter Seminar at Chennai from 24th to 29th June, 2009

The FIDE was awarding FIDE arbiters title for arbiters who had the requisite number of norms. But, as per the new regulations of FIDE to come into force from 01st July 2009, it is mandatory for all FIDE Arbiter title seekers to attend a Arbiters Seminar conducted by the FIDE and to pass the exam. Therefore, the All India Chess Federation has been receiving requests from various States to conduct FIDE Arbiters Seminar in India. The reason being, it is difficult for many to spend money on Airfare, Boarding & Lodging and course fee if it is held abroad. In view of the above requests, it has been decided to conduct an Arbiters Seminar at Chennai from 24th to 28th June, 2009. Further, those who pass the exam will get FIDE Arbiter title directly, as they do not require any International Tournament Norm Certificate. In other words, any body who has basic knowledge about the game can appear for the Seminar.

We expect Mr.Casto Abundo of FIDE to conduct the Seminar and he will be assisted by Prof.R.Anantharam. All those who are interested in attending the course are requested to send the filled application form attached along with Demand Draft favouring All India Chess Federation, payable at Chennai for Rs.18,000/- towards FIDE Fee, Exam fee, Lodging, Materials and other expenses connected with the seminar. Those who do not require lodging facilities may have to pay  Rs.16,000/- only.  The form may be sent through the respective State Chess Associations so as to reach AICF before 12th June, 2009
