ICCF World Championships (2012 Status)

Since my last report on correspondence chess ICCF World Championships (2011 Status), three World Champions have emerged:-
  • WC23: Ulrich Stephan
  • WC24: Marjan Šemrl
  • WC26: Ron A. H. Langeveld

I also received the PGN for WC20, meaning I now have five completed events to add to my page World Chess Championship : Correspondence Chess.

20 * 2004-11 Lehikoinen, Pertti (FIN)
21 * 2005-08 Oosterom, Joop J. van (NED)
22 * 2007-10 Dronov, Aleksandr (RUS)
23 * 2007-11 Stephan, Ulrich (GER)
24 * 2009-12 Šemrl, Marjan (SLO)
25   2009- Started 2009-12-10
26   2010- Langeveld, Ron (NED)
27   2011- Started 2011-06-10

As before, the asterisk ('*') means the winner is known and the PGN game scores are available. I expect the last three events to be completed by this time next year. As for further events, I have no information.
