36th Ikaros
International Chess Tournament 2013
Aegean Open
Championship 2013
(13-21 July 2013, Aghios Kirykos, Ikaria island, GREECE)
For one more year “Ikaros” commences
its flight, somewhat earlier than usual, with the aim to provide its participants
and guests with a thoroughly organized chess tournament that will combine
strong fights over the board with relaxing vacations on one of the most popular
summer chess destinations, the beautiful island of Ikaria!
As every year, the organization committee of
the tournament, made a considerable effort so as to keep the overall participation
cost low (the basic package costs 200 euros per person for the period 13-21
July and includes accommodation (the board expenses are not included), entry
fee, daily transportation
to the playing venue and transportation from and to the port of Evdilos, in
case this is necessary due to the ferry schedule). Also, as every year, there
are special discounts for families, juniors, club teams and unemployed people,
while there additional discounts for those who will pay in advance.
The official announcement of the
tournament, which, as always, also includes numerous side events (the annual Mediterranean
Team Rapid Tournament, blitz and blind tournaments, problem solving contest
etc.) can be found here
or can be downloaded as
.doc or .pdf.
