DSC 5736PocksteinerJordanBastianOn Saturday, February 28th 2015, FIDE Director for Seniors Dr. Dirk Jordan invited to the FIDE Meeting for Seniors. 15 players and team captains followed the invitation and met at 8.00 pm with Dr. Jordan, Herbert Bastian, FIDE Vice President, and Johann Pöcksteiner, ECU Seniors Tournament Director at the Wyndham Garden Hotel to discuss current topics in senior chess.
The topics of the meeting were, amongst others
SC 5750PrasentationFIDE Meeting
- schedule for organizing future tournaments
- assessment of the current age limits
- thinking times
- beginning of rounds
- difficulty of turning in the team line-up on time.
In addition to these topics the participants were able to express their own wishes and suggestions. Their opinion was much valued because the 3rd World Senior Team Championship is still a test event hosted by the FIDE to reach optimal modalities for playing senior chess.
The players and officials in attendance thought the meeting to be a great success and the organizers will take all the new ideas and suggestions from the participants to the next FIDE and ECU conferences.
I wonder what they decided.
