Eljanov

[Mick Norris]

I was reading the Pete Doggers piece about chess and Ukraine after a year of war, and came across a link to the ECF

The English Chess Federation is trying to find hosts for Ukrainian GM Pavel Eljanov and family. Pavel is ranked world number 34 and would come to the UK with his partner, mother and two children aged 7 and 11. We need hosts for two, three or all five of them. The ECF also needs to place the European Under-14 champion Sviatoslav Bazakutza and his mother Irina who are currently in the UK, but will need to move in May.
Host families make an initial six-month commitment and there is some financial support available from the government, which is £350/month. To register your interest, please email [email protected] giving your full name, address, ECF membership number and telephone contacts.
