Woo-hoo! Lots of email boxes pinged a few minutes ago. The ACO broadcast that its 2022 Amateur Championships will be held between 6-15 May next year. That's exciting news on it's own, but it's topped by the headline that they are returning to the Island of Kos and the superb 5-star beach hotel, known previously as the Helona Resort but now operating under the new name the Atlantica Belvedere Resort. This will be the fifth time the ACO has used this very special venue and it will be my fourth time. Everyone loves the Helona. The event is limited to around 150 players this time, not the 300 plus who have played before. So don't delay if you're interested in joining up just email Jens Hirneise at [email protected] . Life's a beach!

It’s coming. Thirteen English names (actually one’s Welsh) are among the 120 that appear on this morning's provisional list of entries for next May’s ACO Amateurs in Kos. https://amateurchess.com/participants_wacc_2022/
