    We already have one team for 50+ section. D.Cummings - V.Plotkin - I.Findlay - M.Barron. The same line-up was playing in 2018 (Dresden) and 2020 (Prague). No limit for number of teams from the same federation.

    I was contacted by 2 players who are interesting in playing for 65+ section. I Bluvshtein (FIDE 2091) and I.Berengolts (2003). With 2 more interested 1900+ players we can have a good team for the "senior" section.

      What the heck is "omologation". A new one on me, and I thought I knew lots of words. I've heard Homologation, in connection with engine class in auto racing.

        Just copy/pasted it from the official FIDE (!) letter.

        Anyway, if somebody 65+ with FIDE 1900+ is willing to play - please contact me.
