Kind Attention : All Players/Coaches/Accompanying persons of World Cadet Chess Championship-2023 at Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt from 14 Oct to 23 Oct 23.
“Considering the ongoing situation at Gaza Strip between Israel & Hamas and the age of participants, after due deliberations it was decided our delegation will not participate in the World Cadet Chess Championship-2023.
We took this decision considering all the aspects of safety and security of our young players as the Gaza Strip is only 397 KM is away Sharm el Sheikh and the conflict can significantly impact on commercial airlines in the Middle East on short notice.
We took this decision based on Force Majeure & unforeseen scenario and all stakeholders are requested to note the same.”
