THE NATIONAL TEAM DILEMMA REVISITED

MAY 12 ― ”One complaint constantly raised by top players with regard to their national chess federations is that nothing or not enough is being done for them.
My response? No one owes you a living!
Now this same complaint is being made in many other places as well but in the context of the coming World Chess Olympiad to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan in September.
In the case of Malaysia, I ask again if looking for money to send our teams there makes any sense when there is not only no programme for the national team but not even targets that have been set together with our sports authorities…Without real commitment to invest in a national team, let anyone who makes the effort go based on whatever criteria announced early enough. It is no problem for any of them to find their own airfare.” READ MORE HERE.
