Over the past few days, work with the FIDE delegation has focused almost entirely on venue selection for the event. The process has been thorough and time-intensive, which has limited bandwidth for exhibition activities. The delegation remains fully engaged.
Venue shortlist (narrowed from a wider pool):
• Stellenbosch University
• CTICC
• UCT
• Curro Durbanville
Chess set handovers completed:
• Fisantekraal High School
• Alpha Primary School
Both schools sit in communities affected by drug and gang activity. The handovers were well received. President High School is scheduled for tomorrow.
