From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leading chess players from the Mediterranean Chess Association member nations, and invited guest participants, are allowed to play in the Mediterranean Chess Championship.[1] The Mediterranean Chess Association was established at the 73rd FIDE Congress in Bled, Slovenia and registered with FIDE as an affiliated international chess organization.[2][3]

There was no Mediterranean Chess Championship event held for 2010, 2011 and 2013.
