ALL is set for the annual Easter Chess Open Championships, to be held virtually, during the upcoming holiday.
Chess players who have already hit the ground by running a league, have called on participants to register in time, so that they can be accommodated for the championships.
Zimbabwe Chess Federation secretary-general, Todd Mapingire, said they could barely wait for the tournament after almost a year of inactivity.
“The ZCF annual traditional Easter tournament is back after a year off the radar,’’ said Mapinge.
“The 2021 Easter tournament is unique as it is being held in a Covid-19 induced lockdown period.
“The participants will be limited, per all sections available, due to Covid-19 regulations.’’
ZCF have already got their league running after they managed to secure some sponsors, and an office, from where they are conducting their business, in Harare’s central business district.
“May I thank the sponsors, and those who co-ordinated the logistics of the tournament, to be made possible.
“The ZCF Covid-19 regulations are to be adhered to before, during and after the tournament,’’ said Mapingire.
