The European Chess Union (ECU) was officially founded 1985 in Graz. Since the East-Block didn't join this organization at this time, there was little co-operation in Europe and it wasn't very influential in relation to the world chess organization (FIDE).
The statutes were redrafted in April 1998. All 53 national Chess federations in Europe (including Israel) were prepared to join the ECU. Subsequently there were elections in Elista (Russia) in October 1998. Boris Kutin (Slovenia) was duly elected as president and is still in office. The General Secretariat was founded in Berlin (Germany)
