Results of FIDE Trainer Seminars Organised by the African Chess Confederation in 2020

This initiative saw the direct participation of FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich and only possible due to many months of hard work by African Chess Confederation President Lewis Ncube.

While organised by the FIDE Trainers Commission, the three seminars – English Africa, French Africa and Portuguese Africa – would not have done without the help of Bernard Wanjala, ACC Vice President and Chess Kenya President, TRG Commission Member FST & GM Slim Bouaziz, and Dominic Cross, President of the Portuguese Chess Federation.

TRG Council Member Sami Kader is also instrumental in the fourth and last seminar, Arabic Africa, to be held from 14-16 January 2020,
