EDITOR'S MESSAGE After one year hiatus, we are renewing the publication of this Bulletin. From now on, I am assuming the honor of preparing and editing the Bulletin issue. Hopefully, many of you will enjoy reading each issue. Of course, the comments by you are very welcome and, if necessary, the relevant and worthwhile material and/or comments may be shared with the readers through the upcoming Bulletin issue pages. The years of 2011 and 2012 have been very momentous ones in the history of our international chess organization. In 2011 we witnessed the inauguration of the first ever Asian Team Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in which men's and women's teams from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, India and Kyrgyzstan took part. This year alone our organization's major milestones have been as follows: the 31st ICSC Congress unanimously voted upon and approved the name change of our organization – from now on, it is being called as the International Chess Committee of the Deaf ( at the top of this issue you see a new logo of the I.C.C.D. ); one-day visit by his Excellency Mr. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the FIDE President, to Almaty, Kazakhstan, on the occasion of the 15th World Individual Championships; admittance of the three countries – Armenia, Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan - as the newest country-members of the I.C.C.D. family, and successful participation our I.C.C.D. men's and women's teams at the 40th FIDE World Chess Olympiad held in Istanbul, Turkey. In the meantime, please send to us the updated results of chess tournaments and championships held in your country this year as well as photos - we shall publish these in the next issue of the Bulletin.

Croatia's Lusic Played vs. Kasparov
On 21st July, 2012 Garry Kasparov, the famous FIDE Champion, was honored by the municipality of Split, Croatia, to take part in a simultaneous chess exhibition match against 18 local players, which were composed of children, athletes, politicians and singers.The President of Croatian Deaf Sport Association Marijo Lušić was also part of this great event. It was a humanitarian event to make the game of chess more popular in schools and it was also to celebrate 100 years of founding of the Croatian Chess Association. Mr. Kasparov has been a regular guest in Croatia for the last 20 years during his summer vacations and he is a great Croatian friend, also he promoted Croatia a lot in Europe and in the world, especially during the Croatian war some 17 years ago.
