MT-Bielecki/T​op Players – live transmission from today!

Witold Bielecki Memorial/Top Players, event started on 01.03.2012, is the strongest tournament since 2002. It can be observed at the “Top ICCF tournaments list” published at the ICCF Diamond Jubilee Web Book. It is the 3rd strongest tournament in ICCF history with averege rating 2638,46, just few rating points before Hermann-Heemsoth Memorial (Rav=2632,82). These are the only two 16-category events.

You can look at the participant list from different perspectives (see below short specification). So you can find here not only top rated players, but world champions (indyvidual and team) or GM collectors, as well! That is very fascinating for cc fans to follow achievements of their beloved players during course of the event 🙂

  1. World Championship finals
  2. Team World Championship finals
  3. Top rated players with GM Nikolai Papenin (UKR) at the top of the ICCF rating list
  4. Participants of the 4th top rated event Hermann-Heemsoth Memorial(Rav=2632,82):
    • GM Ron Langeveld (NED), GM Richard Hall (ENG), GM Maximilian Voss (GER), GM Stephan Busemann (GER),
  5. All players are titled, 12 out of 13 are GMs
  6. GM norm collectors – at the top is GM Hans-Dieter Wunderlich (GER) with 10 GM-norms
In order to attract public attention to correspondence chess, tournament organizer asked players for their opinion about live display. All players positively responded to request. TD IA Carlos Flores (ESP) joined that idea as well. It is advisable to have consensus at so high level event.
So there is good news for correspondence chess enthusiasts – all games are displayed live starting from today (15.10.2012)! Live transmission is delayed by 5 moves.
