The WCCI is organised with the authority of the FIDE PCCC.
The WCCI is open to all composers from all member federations of the FIDE.
The WCCI comprises the following sections:
a) Two-movers,
b) Three-movers,
c) More-movers,
d) Endgame studies,
e) Helpmates,
f) Selfmates,
g) Fairies and
h) Retro problems.
Composers are invited to submit their top quality compositions for the WCCI.
A composer may send in each section a maximum of six compositions, published in the years 1998 - 2000. Corrected compositions or versions may participate if they were published during these years. Joint compositions are not allowed. It is not permitted to send entries on somebody else's behalf.
Five copies of each entry should be sent, printed or stamped on uniform diagrams, with the author's name, publication date with any award, stipulation and full solution clearly written on the front of each diagram, and a brief comment if desired. The algebraic notation is to be used.
Entries should be sent to the Tournament Director, postmarked not later than 31st October 2001.
Three judges in each section will grade the entries. The sum of a composer's four best compositions will be calculated for his final result. In each section the composer with the highest sum of his best four compositions will be declared the champion.
In addition, the PCCC makes the following recommendations:
- Cyrillic names and addresses of
composers should be written in Cyrillic capital letters, if
possible also transcribed into Latin letters.
- To help the Director, the source of a
composition should, if possible, include not only magazine and
year of publication but also the month or magazine number and/or
the number of the composition.
- If a composition has been
computer-tested, this should be indicated with the symbol
"C+" or "Co".
- Unusual fairy forms should be explained.
