With the top three (3) finishers at the Malaysian Chess Championship 2024 Open and Women events are automatically selected to don national colors to the upcoming 45th FIDE Chess Olympiad in Budapest, Hungary, MCF is looking to fill up the balance two(2) slots from interested players who are keen to apply to be part of the team.

MCF is looking for two(2) Open and Women players – from both the Junior and Senior pools, who have exhibited talent, promises and potential, and has the desire and determination to be part of the Malaysian National Team to take on the rest of the world.

Those who are interested to be selected as part of the team, are invited to fill up the application form by CLICKING HERE TO REGISTER. A non-refundable application fee of RM50 is required to complete the application as a show of commitment to be selected.

While there is no “restriction” as to who can apply – based on age, or playing strength, players who are active, consistent and with a high FIDE Rating, will be the most probable choice but, looking from the perspective of promising and potential pool, those who do not meet the criteria might be the surprising pick.

Closing date to apply is 7th May 2024 with players to be selected before 10th May 2024. Those who are eventually selected, are requested to prepare their traveling documents to ensure that the registration to the Olympiad can be done quickly.
