We have received the following 4 bids for the European Club Cup 2003: Andorra, Crete/Greece, Bratislava/Slovakia and Pärnu/Estonia.

At the beginning of January inspections are planned in order to make a final decision about the venue by 8 January 2003.

The 4. European Youth Team Championship will be held in Balatonlelle/Hungary from 18 July (arrival) until 27 July 2003 (departure). Invitations will be sent out at the beginning of next year.

Please note that the deadline for bids for the European Club Cup for Women is 01 January 2003.

The exact dates for the European Individual Championship in Greece as well as for the European Youth Championships in Montenegro are still being negotiated with the respective organizers. We hope to receive more details within the next days.

The Turkish Chess Federation has confirmed the period from 28 March (arrival) until 12 April 2003 (departure) for the European Womens´ Championship in Antalya. The official invitation will be distributed next month.
