Dear Friends,
Circular Letter No. 4/2005
On 4 July 2005 our Treasurer Egon Ditt (74) passed away. He was a profound expert of chess organisation, former President of the German Chess Federation. In 1998 he had been elected as ECU Treasurer. We mourn for Egon Ditt.
We would like to thank the organizers and the national chess federations for having successfully carried out the following events:
- European Individual Championship in Warsaw/Poland (winner: Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu/Romania)
- European Women's Championship in Chisinau/Moldova (winner: Kateryna Lahno/Ukraine)
- European Individual Senior Championship in Bad Homburg/Germany (winner: Mark Tseitlin/Israel)
The 8th European Senior Team Championship will be held in Dresden/Germany from 17 to 24 February 2006. The official announcement is attached.
The date of next year’s European Individual Senior Championship has been changed and is now supposed to be organized in Davos/Switzerland from 5 to 13 August.
We have received the following bids for European championships 2006 and 2007:
European Club Cup (Men and Women) 2007 - Turkey, Sibenik/Croatia
European Youth Championship 2007 - Dresden/Germany, Harkany/Hungary, Pardubice/Czech Republic, Herceg Novi/Serbia & Montenegro, Georgia, Sibenik/Croatia

The Board will decide upon these bids at the next meeting in Gothenburg, if all necessary inspections can be arranged before.
The agenda of the forthcoming General Assembly in Gothenburg on 6 August 2005 has to be amended by the election of a new treasurer.
Looking forward to meeting you in Gothenburg.
Best regards,
Horst Metzing
Secretary General
