The PB has approved the Rating Regulations and Title Regulations (with new Tables for Direct Titles). The PB also approved the new Regulations on Registration & Licensing of Players. All these 3 sets of regulations shall be effective from 1 July 2013.

Attention is drawn to Rating Regulations Rules 5.2 and 13.2 for players.

On Title Regulations, please note Rules 1.13; 1.13a and 1.13b with regards to time controls and number of rounds per day especially for a GM norm.

Most importantly, Rule 1.55 states that “title norms gained before 1 July 2005 must be registered with FIDE before 1 July 2013 or they will be considered to have expired.” Please kindly forward your registration of “old” norms directly to our newly appointed Title Administrator, Mr Michalis Kaloumenos at michalis@cinephos.gr This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
