The form has to be emailed to the organisers at info@rijekachess.com by October 15, 2011. In addition to the written registration, it is required that the participants make a personal registration prior to the commencement of the tournament. The personal registrations will be made on November 14, 2011 from 10:00 to 21:00 o'clock and on November 15, 2011, till 12:00 o'clock.


All the best to everyone who is going to play at this special tournament. Chess is inspiring and surely can remain a lifelong passion. The legendary Viktor Korchnoi is a sterling example of that. You did see our www.chessblog.com post on him beating the young Grandmaster Fabiano Caruana just a few days back at the Gibraltar Chess Festival? Well, here is the link again.
