The German Embassy has refused visas to four Nigerian chess players. The four, who were among the 12 selected for the training tour in Germany in preparation for the 8th All Africa Games, will now camp in Lagos, according to Theophilus Caiafas, President of the Nigeria Chess Federation (NCF).
"You know we just held an international chess demonstration ahead of Abuja 2003 and the four affected players competed at the event," he explained. Caiafas said that the players would be camped at the National Institute for Sports in Lagos until the scheduled return of Team Nigeria from the foreign tour on Sept. 19.
