2010 WUC Chess: Update

The Organizing Committee of the 11th World University Chess Championship met for a working session in Zürich. For the first time Mr Eugen Fleischer, the new FISU CTI Chair for Chess, was also present. He was introduced by FISU EC Member Leonz Eder. The OC under the leadership of Bernhard Burkhardt and Vice-Chair Walter König fixed the detailed program of the Championship, confirmed some protocol activities such as Opening and Closing Ceremony, VIP Apéro and Technical Meetings and discussed all kind of logistical issues.

The preparations are well on track so far, and the Swiss OC is now waiting for the entries to come. Up to now, the NUSF of Mongolia, China and Switzerland have confirmed their participation. The OC is ready to welcome a new record of participants in Zürich.
