Logisticand Program
The foreign guests arrived on April 26 and 27, 2019. They are all lodging at the Hotel
LavillaVerte in Ambatomirahavavy except the Mauritian player. Part of the Malagasy players
are also lodging at the Hotel LavillaVerte while others preferred to go back home and come
with the car every morning.
A technical meeting was scheduled on April 12, 2019 by the FMJE team and led by the
Chiefarbiter to explain and redefine the rules of the game.
Given the number of guests who came, Madagascar had to increase its number of participants
from 7 to 8 for men, and from 2 to 4 for women. The technical meeting was based on Tie
break rules, pairing rules, and a few specific rules.
The tournament follows the 9 round Swiss system for the open category and the all-round
system for the women category, with a time control of 90 minutes x 2 for the first 40 moves,
followed by the 30 minutes x 2 KO for the rest of the game, with an increment of 30 seconds
starting from move one (1).
The FIDE arbiter’s seminar for the 17 candidates took place in the mornings (15 hours in
total) from April 29th to May 3rd, 2019. This seminar is followed by a 2-hours final exam on
May 3rd, 2019 to allow candidates to have the diploma and to put themselves at the rank of
FIDE arbiter after obtaining a score of 80/100.
Schedule and result
The rounds were played for 7 days on April 27, 28, 29, May 1, 2, 3 and 4: one round per day
except of April 28 and May 1, 2 rounds. The day off was the April 30 to visit the town. The
1st round started on April 27, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. (local time).
The game was played with a total "fair play" during these 8 days of competition. Each game
lasted five hours a day and required a maximum concentration from each participant.
Each game was entered in data base at the end of the day to allow each player to analyze their
game and prepare for the next rounds.
The Orange Madagascar company provided the internet connection to allow live broadcasting
of the first 4 DGT chessboards.
The awards were presented during the closing ceremony on May 4, 2019 followed by a
cocktail.
The IM FyRakotomaharo (Malagasy N°1) was crowned African Champion zone 4.3 - 2019
edition and this victory will allow him to participate automatically in the World Chess Cup in
September in Russia. Master FIDE RALISON Harifidy, won the bronze medaland its second

Partnership
The Orange Madagascar Company has made available to the FMJE an unlimited connection
to allow the live broadcast of all the games on the first 4 DGT tables. The connection also
allowed the guests (players and head of delegation) to communicate with their relatives in
their respective countries.
The TAF Company granted donation of their products to all participants.
FIDE arbiter’s seminar
Regarding the arbiter’s seminar, it allowed the 17 candidates to have more ideas on:
- the different types of arbitrator norm,
- The game'srules
- the administration of the tournament,
- clockmanipulation
- the Elocalculation,
- Anti-cheatrules
- Title obtention.
8 out of 17 passed the exam and scored more than 80%.
Having a FIDE arbiter will allow us to organize a FIDE approved tournament and also allow
us to award international Elo to Malagasy players.
EVALUATION OF THE ORGANIZATION The strengths
Participation in number of Malagasy players: 11 in total
Madagascar is well taken care at international level (reception, fair play,
accommodation, logistics, ...)
Live broadcast of the 9 rounds on the first 4 DGT tables,
The weaknesses
Lack of strong communication and sponsorship research team.
Non-engagement of the State in such an event.
No state representative was present during the opening ceremony or the closing
ceremony.
Few foreign countries responded to the invitation because the travel costs to come to
Madagascar are very expensive compared to other countries.
Financial report
The International Chess Federation (FIDE) has awarded the Malagasy Chess Federation a
grant of US $ 10,000 for the realization of this championship.
The revenues are constituted by the FIDE’s grant, the registration classic tournament,
housing.

CONCLUSION We found that the chess Malagasy level is already recognized
classified African Champion -
The Federation was satisfied with the result and the
this tournament.
We can deduce that this is a second successful experience for our young players who
high the color of our country.
However, a lot of effort remains to be made both in terms of communication
terms of organization.
The next step is the participation of Madagascar in international tournaments such as: African
games (Morocco), AIDEF (Paris), African youth championship (Mozambique), Continental
African championship (Sudan), Junior World Championship (India), World Cup (Russia),
Youth World Championship (India).
