The Royal Moroccan Chess Federation (FRME) is organising, in collaboration with the Regional Chess League of the Centre and the Casablanca-Anfa Academy of Education and Training, the preliminary phases of the Moroccan Club Championship and the final of the National Women's Club Chess Championship. This event is scheduled for the period from 1 to 5 July next at the covered hall of the Mohammed V Sports Complex in Casablanca.
On this occasion, the Federation has reserved prizes for women's teams and chessboards for all participants.
These championships will take place according to the laws in force in national tournaments. And exceptionally, for the first national division, six clubs will qualify for the final phases instead of ten, as was the case previously. Three clubs for the north pool and as many for the south group.
Furthermore, the Royal Moroccan Chess Federation will organise, from 30 August to 1 September next, the final phase of the play-off, to determine the champions of Morocco for first and second division teams.
Four teams, at the rate of one formation for each pool, will take part in these final phases.
The federal statement recalls in the last place that the FRME will take charge (stay and catering) of all participating teams according to the laws prescribed in the technical card.
