Dear chess professionals and friends!

 

We would like to sincerely congratulate you on the significant development in Ukrainian chess life – proclamation of the Chess Day in Ukraine.

 

On November 1, 2011, Verkhovna Rada approved the Decree “On proclamation of the Chess Day in Ukraine”, which was officially published on November 9, 2011. Celebration of the Chess Day in Ukraine will take place annually on July, 20, which is also an International Chess Day. The project of the Decree “On proclamation of Chess Day in Ukraine” was submitted to Verkhovna Rada by people’s deputy of Ukraine Volodymyr Danylenko. 277 deputies voted for approval of the resolution, among which were representatives of all parliament fractions as well as unaffiliated members.

 

We are thankful to everyone, who participated in development and implementation of the Decree. It is also considered by the UCF as the step forward to the development and submission of another Decree – “On the National program of chess development in Ukraine”.

We are sure, that together we can bring a lot to the development of chess in Ukraine and noticeably increase the level of popularization of our favorite sport on the national level!
