Press release by FIDE
The African Individual Championships 2024 kicked off on March 13 in Accra, Ghana, the city that recently hosted the chess competition of the 13th African Games. Both the open and the women’s championships are 9-round Swiss events with a classical time control. The events will run until March 20.
Top African players, including Grandmasters Bassem Amin (EGY) and Bilel Bellahcene (ALG), International Masters Mariano Ortega Amarelle (CPV), Fy Antenaina Rakotomaharo (MAD), David Silva (ANG), Chitumbo Mwali (ZAM), Women’s Grandmaster Shahenda Wafa (EGY), and Women’s International Masters Lina Nassr (ALG) and Jesse Nikki February (RSA) have converged for this prestigious event.

Improve your pieces – a winning system you need to know
In this course, we will learn how to identify passively placed pieces in any given situation and how to improve their health by bringing them into active squares.

FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich participated in the opening ceremony and made the ceremonial first move in the women’s competition. In a short speech, he thanked the organizers, greeted all the participants and touched on the social aspect of chess competitions in Africa.
I hope everyone will show their best in this event. I also wish luck to all of you… Chess in African Games was more than just a sports event. We connected local chess communities with national governments and commissions so they can help you in your countries.

The FIDE President also announced that in just a few days, the Chess Torch lit in India would arrive in Accra, and invited everyone to participate in the festivities. The Chess Torch Relay, a part of FIDE’s centennial celebration, will pass through several continents to finish in Budapest, the host city of the 45th Chess Olympiad.
