Merry Christmas + important information.
Уважаемые Коллеги! / Dear Colleagues!
В первую очередь, поздравляю Вас всех с наступающими Рождеством и Новым годом.
I'd like to first of all congratulate everyone with the coming Christmas and New Year.
Объявления. It is high time to share some information.
EAL 2016 Unplayed match.
It is high time to open and start the 1st round match, which was not played earlier due to organisational troubles.
I suggest that
CzechoSlovakia-Ceskoslovensko / Чехословакия and
Team Nagorno-Karabakh Republic / Нагорный Карабах
open it ASAP and start on 30.12.2015
EAL 2016 Chess 960 competition canceled.
I am very sorry, but I have not been able to find a volonteer to organize that competition and I myself do not have enough time for it.
EAL 2015 - only one match undecided.
As far as I can judge from the matches gathered here in http://www.chess.com/groups/forumview/--201518,
there is only one undecided match, where two games are still played
http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match?id=550054
However, its result is important to determine prize places.
I do not think that it is appropriate to use a cutoff here. Let the games come to a result and finalize the overall standing after that.
Результат матча Петербург - ЦФО может быть важен для распределения призовых мест. Думаю, что уместно позволить его доиграть и только потом определять результаты соревнования.
