The Asian Chess Federation (ACF) will sponsor 20 Pakistani players for the Arbitration course under the supervision of the International Chess Federation (FIDE).
CFP vice president and FIDE delegate Amin Malik has announced he received a confirmation from ACF that they would be sponsoring 20 Pakistani players/chess masters for the course. Amin also asked the players/chess masters to send their particulars along with their qualifications/copy of degrees.
"Chess Federation of Pakistan (CFP) is trying hard to generate opportunities for Pakistani Chess players. One such opportunity was the Arbitration course from FIDE which had about US$100 fee per player. Therefore CFP requested FIDE and ACF to waive that fee because our players were unable to afford it," Amin Malik said.
"Those who have already sent their particulars should also send again," he added.
Amin said the CFP president believed in merit and was against political victimization of any player.
