Still time to prepare for Chess Olympiad

Loris Nathoo

National chess captain Loris Nathoo feels there is still enough time for the national chess team to have over the board preparation for participation in next year’s Chess Olympiad.

The Chess Olympiad was scheduled to be held in Russia from August 5-17 but was postponed earlier this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Locally, preparations for the selection of the team have been put on hold as there are no over the board tournaments being held said Nathoo who added that the exact venue for the Chess Olympiad has not yet been determined.
