Playing Chess Over the Phone
Recently we received a request from a disabled gentleman and fellow chess player, Philip Hyland. He lives in McDonalds Corners, Ontario, a little southwest of Ottawa. If anyone has time to play chess with Philip over the phone, please seriously consider it. You will be helping him a great deal. Thank you.--- Ralph P. Marconi
Philip Hyland writes:
"I am a disabled chess player. It is impossible for me to go to clubs
and it is difficult for me to play online. I do play online sometimes
but it is difficult for me and therefore not very enjoyable.
I have two people who I play chess with over the phone and I am
looking for others. All games would go on my phone bill, that is no
problem. We can use clocks or not, whichever you prefer. My
preference is to play with each side having 1.5 hours on the clock,
but I can be flexible.
Please call me at: 1.613.278.0463.
I play at Elo 1600 - 1850 depending on how my health is but I don't
mind playing people rated a bit higher or lower."

Announcing ICCF Veterans World Cup II!
The following announcement was posted at the ICCF webserver 1 May 2009. Please note that the CCCA is charging $25/section if you choose to enter via the CCCA.
International Correspondence Chess Federation in association with the Scottish Correspondence Chess Association

Second ICCF Veterans World Cup
In April 2008, ICCF started the first Veterans World Cup, which is being organised by the Czech CCA in memoriam of Stanislav Foglar. It is nearing the completion of the preliminary stage whereafter, winners of the 13 sections, will qualify for the 1 st Veterans World Cup Final.
The 2008 ICCF Congress in Pleven , Bulgaria decided that following the great popularity of the tournament amongst older players, a new Veterans World Cup should be started every year, beginning in 2009. The Scottish CCA offered to organise this and subsequent tournaments on behalf of ICCF, working in collaboration with the ICCF Non Title Tournament's Commissioner. A special cup trophy will be provided by the Scottish CCA to ICCF for the winner of the event.
The Second ICCF Veterans World Cup will be “In Memoriam of Gerhard Radosztics” , who was a distinguished delegate for Austria , ICCF officer and great friend, for over 20 years.
Unlike the first tournament, the 2 nd VWC will be organised in three stages , which will allow several players from each group stage to advance to the Semi-finals & Final. The number of promotions will depend on the total of entries received, but groups at each stage will comprise of 13 players (12 games) played by webserver with a rate of play of 10 moves in 40 days.
ICCF Veterans World Cups are open to all players who are 60 years old or more at the start of the tournament. The 2 nd Veterans World Cup will be started on 1 st September 2009 . Although the number of preliminary groups which each player may enter is unlimited, no player will qualify for more than two Semi-final groups or more than one place in the Final.
The Entry Fee for players entering through National Federations is CHF 20 per section. The Direct Entry Fee is CHF 30, or the equivalent value of alternative currency selected by player, which is stated during the DE registration process. Direct Entry is available to all players from countries whose National Federations participate in the ICCF Direct Entry Scheme
Entries, containing players name, date of birth, Email address, ICCF ID and current rating, should be sent by Email via the player's National Federation and thereafter to the Tournament Organiser Alan P. Borwell, Email:- alanborwell@iccf.com , to reach him before 17 th July 2009 .
It would be appreciated if Federations will send entries “as received”, and not at closing date.
Entries from players who countries participate in the ICCF Direct Entry Scheme should send their entries, through the DE system. Closing date for Direct Entries will be 31 st July 2009 .
All veteran chess players are heartily invited to enter this tournament , both for the enjoyment of games and friendly contact/communication with senior players round the World.
Member Federations are asked to give the tournament wide publicity to veteran players .
