IBCA Report on the Louis Braille Tournament
IBCA Report on the Louis Braille Tournament
Edinburgh, Scotland 2-4 January
This report is taken from the report on the the Braille Chess User Group compiled by Julie Leonard. I thank her very much for her work during this event. I was present on each of the three days of the tournament. I spoke with each of the delegations and the one important point that came out of the discussions was that they wanted better communications between the board and the member federations.
Best Wishes
Stephen Hilton
Secretary General
IBCA
