Creation of A.J.E.C
In 1934 L. Demey founded the "ASSOCIATION BELGE DES JOUEURS d'ECHECS PAR CORRESPONDANCE" (AJEC). He also negotiated with the Postal Administration to enforce in Belgium the cheaper rate of printed matter to include chess cards. This favourable rate was abolished in 1984.
AJEC organised the first Belgian championship in several categories. AJEC also published a monthly duplicated bulletin. Albéric O'Kelly de Galway, who in 1962 became the third Correspondence Chess world champion, started his first Correspondence Chess games with AJEC. He won the Belgian Correspondence Chess championships of 1943 and 1944.
At the end of the thirties, differences of views regarding the bulletin arose. This led to the creation of a new Correspondence Chess association.
