Eight participants from Curacao attended the Seminar organised by the Curacao Chess Federation with financial support from the Confederation of Chess for the Americas and under the aegis of the Events Commission of FIDE.
The Seminar was held from 27th February to 1st March. Facilities were provided by the Curacao Sport & Olympic Federation.
There was a good local response to the course. Six persons completed the examination at the end of the seminar and all achieved the seminar norm.
The successful candidates were Alex Roose, Jimmy Izijk, Ailen Mena, Favio Mena, Fabio Mensing and Michell Fayad.
