Circular Letter to National Federations for the Arbiters’ License

To: All National Chess Federations

Dear chess friends,

in the 2011 Krakow FIDE Congress the FIDE Executive Board approved the Arbiters’ Commission’s proposal regarding the License for the Arbiters.

In the attached file you will find the text of the new regulations, which will be added in the FIDE Handbook, B.05 (Regulations for the titles of Arbiters).

The Arbiters’ Commission (Chairman Pan. Nikolopoulos: takisnik@yahoo.com , Secretary Dirk De Ridder: FIDE_DirkDeRidder@skynet.be ) is ready to answer any question you may have regarding the issue.

The new regulations will be in effect from 01.01.2013, so that the federations will have the time to adjust their relevant regulations.

PANAGIOTIS NIKOLOPOULOS

CHAIRMAN

FIDE ARBITERS’ COMMISSION
