Arbiters increase their qualify at “Moscow Open 2009” festival




FIDE Arbiters Seminar takes place in RSSU as part of “Moscow Open 2009” festival.  International arbiters Panagiotis Nikolopulos (Greece) with the participation of Eduard Dubov (Russia) are in charge of this festival.

Panagiotis Nikolopulos, who is also the main arbiter of “Moscow Open 2009” festival, shared his impressions:

- Moscow Open 2009 festival is the one of the largest tournaments around the world – quantity of participants really impresses us every time. Lots of strong chess players take part in this festival. As the matter of fact, high image and big prize found attract participants’ attention. This tournament has high level of organization, arbiters work very professionally. Any kind of accidents has not been fixed at the last rounds. However, it’s important to notice on the future, that it would make a sense to set additional limitations for tournament “A” floor level. These actions would make “Open A” tournament more strong and interesting.

FIDE Arbiters Seminar is holding according to the rules set up be FIDE. Similar seminars are holding all over the world several times a year. During the seminar arbiters discuss main problems of chess rules, ask questions, share experience with each other. At the end of course all interested people can try to pass examination test. Grade of FIDE arbiter – the first qualifying step in arbiter’s scale - will be conferred to those who pass the test successfully. 
Near 50 arbiters take part in the seminar held at RSSU. Final examination test for participants will be held on Saturday, February 7.
