Health and Safety concerns
Please read thoroughly the official portal https://travel.gov.gr/ which is available in quite a few languages. In a nutshell:
If you are fully vaccinated and have a certificate, you do not have to show a negative test. Otherwise, you should present a recent negative PCR or rapid test result. Important note: For the Russian Federation, from 30.6 passengers must carry a negative PCR or rapid test result regardless if they are vaccinated or not.
In the hotel, you should always follow the guidelines of the hotel personnel.
The protocol of the Greek Chess Federation orders for the players who are not vaccinated, to have one additional PCR or rapid test during the week.
Of course, the solvers should wear protective masks when seated; and obviously, we do not intend to act as police. Common sense should prevail.
Internet Tourney Announcement
Helpmates in 2 to 3 moves are required with neutral units (pawns included, kings not allowed). In each phase a neutral unit plays when it is Black’s turn to move and later when it is White’s turn to move or vice versa. The thematic moves could be played immediately (one right after the other) or with a delay. Fairy pieces are allowed, but fairy conditions are not. Set play, twins and multiple solutions are allowed, but not duplex or zero-positions. Composers may participate with two entries as a maximum.
