Some minimal information (PDF in various languages) about the World Individual Seniors 2017 is available for download at:
https://www.fide.com/component/content/ ... -2017.html
It looks much the same as two years ago but I have not compared the prices.
Meanwhile we await details about the EU senior individual in Barcelona (August), still not published by the ECU.

Re: INTERNATIONAL SENIOR OPPORTUNITIES 2017
ECU have now published details of the European Senior Chess Championships event in Sabadell, Spain August 11-21 2017. I'm reliably informed by Wikipedia that Sabadell is 20km north of Barcelona and is the second biggest city in Catalonia. Hasta la vista.

Re: INTERNATIONAL SENIOR OPPORTUNITIES 2017
For those who may be interested, Sabadell is a reasonably pleasant city with a nice market, but otherwise unremarkable. But in August it will be hot, 30 degrees at least during the day.

Re: INTERNATIONAL SENIOR OPPORTUNITIES 2017
For chess historians, Sabadell was the location of one of Alekhine's last tournament appearances in 1945.

A bit harsh for those wanting a siesta. Why not one hour?
