It is there to protect and foster the interest of Eswatini Chess players both locally and internationally. ECF was formed in 2006 and is an affiliate of the Swaziland national Sports and Recreational Council, a body responsible for overseeing sports proceedings in the country. We are also a member of Federation Internationale des Echecs (FIDE) an international chess mother body. ECF was recognized in Eswatini in 2012 in the then Swaziland National Sports Council and we joined FIDE in 2011. It is our prevalent ambition to take Chess to another level in Eswatini and to put it at the first world status level. The Federation has made\u00a0 giant strides since joining Fide. From our first rated player in September of 2014, three Candidate Masters in 2018 to wining gold in our ladies category in the World Chess Olympiad in\u00a0 Chennai India, 2022. We are now in the phase of developing our local players to be able to take their chess to the next level and possibly make a living out of it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c306c3f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c306c3f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9a8c859\" data-id=\"9a8c859\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0442c6b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"0442c6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fcf9181 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fcf9181\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9f7dcc2\" data-id=\"9f7dcc2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c9f7a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6c9f7a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Contact us<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b163f86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b163f86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<table class=\"dirs_fed\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"4\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor=\"#EFEFEF\" width=\"100\"><strong>City\/Postal<\/strong><\/td><td bgcolor=\"#EFEFEF\" width=\"400\"><strong>Manzini<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td bgcolor=\"#EFEFEF\" width=\"100\"><strong>Address<\/strong><\/td><td bgcolor=\"#EFEFEF\" width=\"400\"><strong>P.O.
