Robert K. von Weizsäcker ticket for ECU
detailed information on the ticket of the German candidate

The team of the German candidate for ECU President Robert K. von Weizsäcker has officially announced in a letter to Chessdom.com the ticket for the upcoming ECU elections in Khanty Mansiysk. Here is the open statement and curriculums vitae of the participants in the ticket.

Dear Presidents, dear Delegates,

The German Chess Federation is pleased to announce that its President Robert K. von Weizsäcker will run for ECU President. He has been asked by a lot of federations and players to form a ticket representing all parts of Europe.

He has succeeded in creating the following strong team:

President: Prof. Dr. Robert von Weizsäcker (CC-GM), Germany
Deputy President: Nigel Short (GM), England
Vice President: Ivan Sokolov (GM), Bosnia and Herzegovina
Secretary General: Johann Hjartarson (GM), Iceland
Treasurer: Dr. Yuri Kaplun, Ukraine

As according to the ECU Statutes the Board should comprise representatives of different federations, the current ECU Secretary General Horst Metzing cannot be included anymore into the Board. In the interest of the future successful work for European chess he should be appointed as Executive Director and should continue to run the ECU Office in Berlin.

We would like to ask all European Chess Federations to support this team and to vote for this new European leadership.

Best regards,

Dr. Hans-Jürgen Weyer Deputy President
