Dear chess friends,

Azeri GM Teimur Radjabov became the winner of the 2nd ACP World Rapid Cup, sponsored by Bank Pivdenny . Radjabov beat Alexander Grischuk of Russia in the final match.
You can find an extensive report on the event on the official website - http://worldcup.pivdenny.com/ru. 2) The ACP Board
The new ACP Board was elected during the 2007 General Assembly (www.chess-players.org/eng/news/viewarticle.html?id=692) and started its work on 01.01.2008. During the new board’s first meeting, ACP President 2006/07 Mr. Pavel Tregubov put forward candidates for the four administrative posts, and all of them agreed to take over the proposed functions. Following preliminary consultations, a vote was held, which confirmed the Board’s support to all candidates. As a result, the duties are distributed as follows:
President – Vadim Morokhovsky (Ukraine, Chairman of “Pivdenny Bank”, President of Odessa chess federation, organizer of the ACP World Rapid Cup 2007 & 2008) Board Director – Pavel Tregubov (Russia, Grandmaster, ACP President 2006/07) General Secretary – Igor Glek (Germany, Grandmaster, WLCT President) Treasurer – Yannick Pelletier (Switzerland, Grandmaster, ACP Tour Director).
Other ACP Board members elected during the last ACP General Assembly are Elmira Mirzoeva (Russia, Grandmaster, TV/Radio journalist ), Sergey Movsesian (Slovakia, Grandmaster), Alex Shabalov (USA, Grandmaster), Emil Sutovsky (Israel, Grandmaster), Yuri Yakovich (Russia, Grandmaster).
3) ACP Tour and ACP Women Series.
Attached are the actual standings for both ACP Series 2007/08: ACP Tour and ACP Women Series (ACP WS) after the first half. ACP Tour list contains all ACP members who earned Grand Prix points (up to 1.1.2008) + most successful non-members of the ACP Tour.
For ACP Women Series we enclose the results of all players. In that list, all ACP members marked with red colour. We'd like to remind you, that only ACP members are eligible for participation in the ACP Masters.
