The much anticipated Botswana Chess Federation (BCF) consultative meeting set for the weekend has been postponed. The meeting was planned by the BCF executive committee, which faced a motion of no confidence a fortnight ago.

BCF spokesperson, Goitsemodimo Makgatle told Sport Monitor that the consultative meeting is part of the calendar of events, but they could not proceed with it due to the unstable condition the Federation finds itself in.

“The chess community is informed that the BCF and clubs consultative meeting that was scheduled for February 3, as per our annual calendar of events will not continue as scheduled due to reasons beyond our control. A suitable date will be communicated in due course. The federation will continue to keep members updated of any developments,” reads the letter that Makgatle wrote to the affiliates.
