40th Chess Olympiad
27 August - 10 September 2012Istanbul, Turkey
ACF Olympiad Appeal
 Unlike most competing nations, the Australian teams receive no government support and must pay their own way, a burden compounded by the distance involved from Australia to Turkey and the corresponding high air fares. They can't do it alone, but depend on the support of the Australian chess community. the cheapest available fares (on which the appeal target is based) involve trans-China flights over 34 hours with three flight changes along the way (Guangzhou, Beijing and Urumqi) - a trip not for the faint-hearted!
 We ask you all to give what you can to the ACF Olympiad Appeal. No donation is too large or too small - all will get the teams that much closer to Istanbul a
