Dear Friends,

 

Once again, it's time to update you on the activities of the ACP. It's been a busy two months for us – we successfully conducted the ACP Golden Classic event in Bergamo, where Wesley So clinched the winner’s golden bar in convincing style (more info here), and there has been progress in various other programs as well. A few ones that have reached fruition are mentioned below:

 

Dear Members,

 

It is time for us to update you on the latest activities of ACP. As usual, a lot of exciting projects are ongoing, but for now here are the latest concrete results of our work.

 

Good news from the ACP! 
FIDE has accepted our proposal to launch the program supporting chess veterans. This year five distinguished chess veterans will be chosen by the joint ACP-FIDE panel, and each of them will receive a modest but not insignificant amount of 5000 USD as an appreciation for their contribution to chess. Thanks to FIDE for accepting our proposal, and we hope to expand the program over the next years.

The ACP is glad to announce the FIDE London Candidates as the winner of ACP Tournament of the Year 2013 contest. All ACP members could vote for their favorite tournaments, having a choice out of 25 selected events of different formats. Voting for the best tournament of the year, the ACP members have shown their appreciation for the hard work done by the organizers. A total number of 382 votes were cast. The Tournament of the Year contest is organized for the third consecutive year.
