3rd – 11th November in Halkidiki, Greece
A total of 38 countries have registered their participation in the European
Team Championship 2011, which starts next week. Each national federation affiliated
to the European Chess Union (ECU) has the right to enter one team of four players
plus one reserve in the open competition, and one team of four female players
and one reserve in the women’s competition.
The ETCC is a nine-round Swiss, with one open section and one section for the
women’s teams, considered a separate competitions. According to ECU and
FIDE rules, the time control will be 90 min for 40 moves + 30 min for the rest
of the game + 30 sec increment for every move played starting from the first
move.
The games will be played in the Olympic Hall Congress Center (1500 sq. m.),
within the five-star Porto Carras Grand Resort, which is located in an enchantingly
verdant landscape in Halkidiki, Greece. Also called Chalkidiki the peninsula
is one of the peripheral units of Greece, part of the periphery of Central Macedonia.

Set like a gem in 1763 hectares (17 million sq. m.) of incredibly beautiful
grounds, it is a paradise of green, fringed by seemingly endless sandy beaches,
in fact nine kilometers of them! The Porto Carras Grand Resort is located 110
km (75 minutes drive) south of the international airport of Thessaloniki, and
includes in its 1763 hectares three hotel divisions, each in a different style,
a casino, an ultra-modern thalassotherapy centre and spa, an international-standard
18-hole golf course, a private 315-berth marina, a 5,000 seat convention centre
and Greece’s largest organic vineyard.
Other chess events that were held in Porto Carras include the 2010 World Youth
Chess Championships with almost 1400 participants (the largest FIDE event ever!),
