Chalkis, 25 July 2012
Dear Chess Friends,
Unfortunately for Greece, in addition to the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the Troika, we also now have to deal with the TCF (Turkish Chess Federation), which is able to enforce its decisions through the Greek Chess Federation. The latter has chosen to confront Chalkida Chess Academy in an authoritarian way, because CCA refused to comply to an ambiguous decision to forbid the participation of a particular chess player by means of a letter to tournament organizers. Let it be noted that the GCF is the only federation worldwide that has agreed to enforce this decision of the TCF.
