GM PETR BOUKAL (1947–2016)

Mr Petr Boukal from Prague was a very strong OTB and CC player (bronze medallist at the 28th World Championship ICCF and concurrently ICCF grandmaster in memoriam), long-term official of the Czech CCA, chief columnist of the section „Correspondence Chess“ (Korespondenční šach) in the monthly chess magazine „Czechoslovakian Chess“ (Československý šach), but above all a great person and friend. In order to thank him for his long-term contribution to the correspondence chess movement, not only as a player and national team member, but also as an official and publicist, the Czech CCA organizes this memorial in his honour.
