Dear Friends,

In an extraordinary Board meeting the following decision was unanimously taken (all Board members with the exception of Deputy President Gerry Walsh were present):

"ECU Board met on 27 April in Vienna related with the support letter of ECU President Boris Kutin to Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, signed on 15 April 2006.

The Board expressly disagree with signing it as ECU President. This matter has not been first discussed within the Board. Mr. Kutin’s signature only represents his personal opinion."

Once more we would like to ask you to fill in the registration form for the General Assembly and send it to our Secretariat by 10 May 2006.

Attached you will find the report of ECU Senior Officer Per Ofstad and the invitation to this year’s European Youth Team Championship being held in Balatonlelle from 11 to 20 July.

Furthermore we enclose the invitation to the European Union Individual Chess Championships in Liverpool from 6 to 15 September 2006, open to players affiliated to countries within the European Union.

Best regards,

Horst Metzing

Secretary General
