Stephen Kisuze, Uganda Chess Federation’s FIDE Arbiter, leaves today to Maputo, Mozambique to referee as a deputy to the Chief Arbiter in the 2011 Africa Individual Chess Championship due to run from June 4-14.
Kisuze, who was nominated to handle the event by Africa Chess Union (ACU) president, Mazouz Lakhdar, travels with Uganda’s East Africa Chess Champion Elijah Emojong.
The latter is expected to compete in the star-studded championship against International Masters and Grand Masters.
An ex-Olympian, Kisuze, earned the FIDE Arbiter title at the World Chess Olympiad held in Khanty Mansisyk, Russia last year. The top three players will qualify for the 2011 World Chess Championships.
