		Following several fruitful meetings between the ACP and FIDE regarding time control in official FIDE events, it is time to make one more step forward, the one the majority of professional chess players are waiting for - to standardize the time control in all events.
		Ali Nihat YAZICI: It is with big sadness for me to say that we have sued the ECU in the judicial court in Lausanne on 3rd of October, for the decision taken in the last board meeting in Novi Sad on 24 August 2007.

	Association of Chess Professionals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The association's purpose is the protection of professional chess players' rights, the practice and promotion of chess worldwide, in particular through the organisation of chess tournaments and other chess events.
		The organisation has been compared by some to the Professional Chess Association, the body established by Garry Kasparov and Nigel Short as an organisation under which to play their 1993 World Championship having broken away from FIDE, the official governing body of chess.
		The ACP has been extremely critical of FIDE on a number of issues, including its selection of Libya as the site for the 2004 Championships (thus putting the ability of Israeli players to take part under question) and aspects relating to the contracts with players in that championship.

	Chessville - Interview with GM Joel Lautier of the Association of Chess Professionals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Chess is a game practiced and followed by millions of fans all over the world, yet it has remained to this day unable to capitalize on this huge potential.
		Chess players are very individualistic people by nature, but their professional condition has degraded to such an extent lately that they are now more willing than ever to unite forces and work on improving things.
		Chess has not achieved such a stature that it can afford holding rival championships, the whole thing was bound to collapse and now we find ourselves in a situation where simply no championship is held any more, let alone two or three.

	Press Release: HB Global Chess Challenge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In addition to the professional players, some 4,000 to 5,000 amateurs are expected to descend on the tournament to cross swords for the 300 cash prizes being awarded to the winners.
		The early and strong response to the HB Global Chess Challenge may stem from the knowledge that the event has been organized by Ashley, an experienced professional himself, who is looking to ensure that the needs and interests of players are given top priority.
		Chess players ready to register for the HB Global Chess Challenge should go to the HB Foundation website, www.hbfoundation.org or call 1-800-964-2448 or 205-941-4448.

		Kasparov's thoughts on the 1996 match between him and IBM's super chess machine "Deep Blue" are at the end.
		Because chess is a game of virtually limitless possibilities, even a beast like Deep Blue, which can look at more than 100 million positions a second, can go only so deep.
		While the computers did not seem to be playing up to the standards of these champion GMs from a pure chess point of view, they definately demonstrated that their accuracy, depth, and relentless energy and resourcefulness to compensate.

		The Association of Chess Professionals is a not-for-profit international organization which operates under the French law and was set up in Paris in September 2003.
		Membership is not limited to chess players only, (but open to) all actors of the professional chess stage: players, organizers, arbiters, journalists, chess programmers.
		The ACP will also contest FIDE's further attempts at reducing the classical time control in most tournaments, since repeated polls, initiated by FIDE but never taken into account, have proven that a large majority of professional players are against the current 90 minutes duration for the whole game.
