Israeli chess official: Effort underway to get Israelis to championship in Saudi
An Israeli chess official says efforts are being made “by various parties” to allow Israeli players to travel to Saudi Arabia for a speed chess championship set to begin on Tuesday.
Reuters quotes Israel Chess Federation spokesman Lior Aizenberg as saying, “The event is not a world championship if they prevent chess players from several countries from taking part.”
