Logisticand Program

The foreign guests arrived on April 26 and 27, 2019. They are all lodging at the Hotel

LavillaVerte in Ambatomirahavavy except the Mauritian player. Part of the Malagasy players

are also lodging at the Hotel LavillaVerte while others preferred to go back home and come

with the car every morning.

A technical meeting was scheduled on April 12, 2019 by the FMJE team and led by the

Chiefarbiter to explain and redefine the rules of the game.

Given the number of guests who came, Madagascar had to increase its number of participants

from 7 to 8 for men, and from 2 to 4 for women. The technical meeting was based on Tie

break rules, pairing rules, and a few specific rules.

The tournament follows the 9 round Swiss system for the open category and the all-round

system for the women category, with a time control of 90 minutes x 2 for the first 40 moves,

followed by the 30 minutes x 2 KO for the rest of the game, with an increment of 30 seconds

starting from move one (1).

The FIDE arbiter’s seminar for the 17 candidates took place in the mornings (15 hours in

total) from April 29th to May 3rd, 2019. This seminar is followed by a 2-hours final exam on

May 3rd, 2019 to allow candidates to have the diploma and to put themselves at the rank of

FIDE arbiter after obtaining a score of 80/100.

Schedule and result

The rounds were played for 7 days on April 27, 28, 29, May 1, 2, 3 and 4: one round per day

except of April 28 and May 1, 2 rounds. The day off was the April 30 to visit the town. The

1st round started on April 27, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. (local time).

The game was played with a total "fair play" during these 8 days of competition. Each game

lasted five hours a day and required a maximum concentration from each participant.

Each game was entered in data base at the end of the day to allow each player to analyze their

game and prepare for the next rounds.

The Orange Madagascar company provided the internet connection to allow live broadcasting

of the first 4 DGT chessboards.

The awards were presented during the closing ceremony on May 4, 2019 followed by a

cocktail.

The IM FyRakotomaharo (Malagasy N°1) was crowned African Champion zone 4.3 - 2019

edition and this victory will allow him to participate automatically in the World Chess Cup in

September in Russia. Master FIDE RALISON Harifidy, won the bronze medaland its second

International Master Norm.

In the women category, the palm went to CaxitaEsperanca (Angola N°1) with a score of 8.5 /

Partnership

The Orange Madagascar Company has made available to the FMJE an unlimited connection

to allow the live broadcast of all the games on the first 4 DGT tables. The connection also

allowed the guests (players and head of delegation) to communicate with their relatives in

their respective countries.

The TAF Company granted donation of their products to all participants.

FIDE arbiter’s seminar

Regarding the arbiter’s seminar, it allowed the 17 candidates to have more ideas on:

- the different types of arbitrator norm,

- The game'srules

- the administration of the tournament,

- clockmanipulation

- the Elocalculation,

- Anti-cheatrules

- Title obtention.

8 out of 17 passed the exam and scored more than 80%.

Having a FIDE arbiter will allow us to organize a FIDE approved tournament and also allow

us to award international Elo to Malagasy players.

EVALUATION OF THE ORGANIZATION The strengths

Participation in number of Malagasy players: 11 in total

Madagascar is well taken care at international level (reception, fair play,

accommodation, logistics, ...)

Live broadcast of the 9 rounds on the first 4 DGT tables,

The weaknesses

Lack of strong communication and sponsorship research team.

Non-engagement of the State in such an event.

No state representative was present during the opening ceremony or the closing

ceremony.

Few foreign countries responded to the invitation because the travel costs to come to

Madagascar are very expensive compared to other countries.

Financial report

The International Chess Federation (FIDE) has awarded the Malagasy Chess Federation a

grant of US $ 10,000 for the realization of this championship.

The revenues are constituted by the FIDE’s grant, the registration classic tournament,

housing.

CONCLUSION We found that the chess Malagasy level is already recognized

classified African Champion -

The Federation was satisfied with the result and the

this tournament.

We can deduce that this is a second successful experience for our young players who

high the color of our country.

However, a lot of effort remains to be made both in terms of communication

terms of organization.

The next step is the participation of Madagascar in international tournaments such as: African

games (Morocco), AIDEF (Paris), African youth championship (Mozambique), Continental

African championship (Sudan), Junior World Championship (India), World Cup (Russia),

Youth World Championship (India).
