Dear retro-friends,

> I would like to invite you to take part in a so-called Olympic retro 

> tourney:

> http://selivanov.ru/news1/olympic/ – see section 8.

> Please do not look at this tourney in the light of the apparent 

> tension between the (ex-)PCCC and FIDE. I was greatly surprised to be 

> appointed as judge of the retro section: I had very seldom contacted 

> Mr. Selivanov in the past and in 2008 I wrote him a letter and then a 

> request for confirmation of receipt of that letter and there was no 

> reply; moreover, Mr. Selivanov did not contact me in connection with 

> the appointment in the spring of 2009. But, as formal retro tourneys 

> are very rare nowadays, I decided not to send a refusal to judge the 

> Olympic tourney retro section – especially as I thought I would 

> probably not get any response again and would thus find myself in an &

> #8220;uncertain” position in relation to the tourney. At 

> present, I have no idea how many, if any, entries have been received 

> so far. There is, however, one thing I am sure of: a more or less 

> successful tourney will only do good to retroanalysis in general. In 

> my view, the tourney should ideally be divided into three sections: &#

> 8220;classical-style” retros, SPGs, and fairy retros. If Mr. 

> Selivanov does not agree to that approach, however, I promise I will 

> judge all problems received without any preference for a particular 

> retro type.

> I would also like to mention the fact that a further similar tourney 

> has been recently announced on the same site:

> http://selivanov.ru/newss/?act=show_news&id=191 – again section 

> 8.

> Yours truly,
