International Chess Committee of the Deaf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ICCD , the International Chess Committee of the Deaf, is the world chess association for the deaf .

The ICCD was founded as ICSC ( International Committee of Silent Chess ) on August 14, 1949 in Copenhagen . The official German name was World Committee for Deaf Chess . The ICSC has been affiliated with FIDE since April 25, 1955 . On October 1, 2012, on the occasion of the 31st ICSC Congress, it was decided to change the name to ICCD ( International Chess Committee of the Deaf ), as the word "Silent Chess" (meaning " deaf and dumb chess") is out of fashion today and has Deaf "(" Deaf ") was replaced.

The ICSC is entitled to start at the Chess Olympiads analogous to the IBCA (blind people) and the IPCA (physically handicapped people) . The ICSC first took part in the Olympics in 2002 by sending a world selection of deaf players. The guiding motto of the association affixed to the association's logo is Ad augusta per angusta .
