Association of Chess Professionals
The Association of Chess Professionals (ACP) is a non-profit organisation which aims to protect the rights of professional chess players, address their concerns and to promote chess worldwide through the organisation of high level chess tournaments and maintaining a ranking system of the top professionals.
Besides these activities, the ACP encourages and promotes the civil engagement of chess players into the decision-making processes of FIDE, the world chess body. This was particularly evident with the formation of the joint ACP-FIDE panel Anti Cheating Committee (renamed to Fair Play Commission in 2018).
In 2014 the ACP announced the initiation of the Veteran's Programme along with FIDE, which seeks to provide a stipend to a few deserving veteran players who could benefit from such support. – since then 18 veterans were awarded with an annual stipend.
At the summer of 2015 the ACP united about 1100 chess professionals (International Masters, Grand Masters, International Arbiters and Organisers) from 85 countries. Most of the world's top players, including the previous World Champion Vishwanathan Anand can be found among the ACP members.
Consisted of ACP President Aleksandar Colovic, ACP Board Director and Deputy President Yuri Garrett, ACP General Secretary Beatriz Marinello, ACP Treasurer Laurent Freyd, ACP Tour Director Pavel Tregubov and Board Members Jesús García Valer, Aleksandra Dimitrijevic, Gunnar Bjornsson, Iván Salgado López, Sergei Beshukov and Maria Emelianova.
The ACP Board coordinated all activities of the ACP, including:
The ACP Tour is the unique system that unites about 100 high-level chess tournaments in 25 countries. Best players of the ACP Tour qualify to participate in the annual ACP Cup – one of the most prestigious events of the global chess calendar. The idea and points system of the ACP Tour was envisioned by Pavel Tregubov, who managed the technical details from 2004 to 2006. During 2007–2011 the ACP Tour was managed by Yannick Pelletier. Finally, from 2012, Tregubov once again took the role of the ACP Tour Coordinator.
Based on the rankings of the ACP Tour, the top performing players in the ACP Tour received wildcards to important international events. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave went on to reach the semi-finals in the 2013 World Cup, after qualifying due to his results on the tour. Dozens of other grandmasters have received wildcards for prestigious tournaments like Tata Steel Chess and Poikovsky.
