National Chess Champion Chitumbo Mwali is advocating for the Chess Federation to develop a structured program aimed at bridging the gap between senior and junior players in preparation for major global and continental tournaments. Mwali highlights a persistent issue where youth players tend to underperform when representing the country on the international stage due to insufficient training and preparation. In his proposal, Mwali emphasizes the importance of senior players, who have accumulated valuable experience from various competitions, actively participating in the development of young talents. By integrating senior players into the youth system, they can impart essential skills and knowledge, ultimately helping the younger generation excel in chess competitions. Furthermore, Mwali suggests allocating dedicated coaches to work with players for several months leading up to international tournaments. This proactive approach would ensure that players receive the necessary guidance and training required to compete at their best. In his commitment to his cause, he expresses his determination to defend his title at the upcoming championships scheduled for next month.
