SITTING CLOSE TO LECTURER LIKE IN 2014
I am the
only one in the middle of the U-shaped table arrangement during the Arbiters’
Seminar and exam facing FIDE Lecturer Jamie Kenmure. I topped also this seminar
like in 2014 Trainers’ Seminar. At right are the other 3 that passed the
exam—Tito Cabunagan, Jennifer Angeles and Angelica Parrado. Completing the
other exam takers in the same order are Rustum Cabuso, Rafael Paloma, Baby Edna
Mission, Paquito Suringa, Jr., Manuel Mahor, Jr., Angelo Salvadora, Eugene
Labarda, Dennis Gonzales and Cyril Tomas Montel, Jr.

TOPPED ARBITERS' SEMINAR
AT THE World Chess Federation (FIDE) website www.fide.com the results of the exam for the
Arbiters’ Seminar by Jamie Kenmure was published as follows:
FIDE
Arbiters’ Seminar in Koror, Palau – RESULTS
Wednesday, 24 May 2017 12:49
From 12 to 19 May 2017 a FIDE Arbiters’ Seminar was
organized in Koror, Palau, by the Palau Chess Federation, in cooperation with
the Asian Chess Federation and under auspices of FIDE.
The Lecturer of the seminar was IA Jamie Kenmure (AUS), FIDE Lecturer.
The venue of the Seminar was the Mason’s Hardware Do-It Center in Koror.
The lectures were in English language. Twenty Four (24)
people from Palau participated in the Seminar and thirteen (13) of them
participated in the examination test, held after the end of the lectures. The
following succeeded in the test and they will be awarded a norm for the title
of the FIDE Arbiter, after the approval of the next FIDE Presidential Board
or Congress:
IA Takis Nikolopoulos
Chairman FIDE Arbiters’ Commission |
||||||||||||||||||||
The FIDE
I. D. Number after my name—16600010 means that Palau was the 166th
member of FIDE and the 00010 after the 166 is the beginning number of Palau
registered chess players cancelling the last number. This means that I am the
first member of Palau Chess Federation in the FIDE list. Tito is No. 16,
Angie—No. 21 and Jennifer—No. 155.
A norm
will be awarded to us. Additional norms (3) can be achieved if we will be
Chief Arbiters or Deputy Chief Arbiters in 3 FIDE rated tournaments (national
or international). The coming 2017 Palau National Chess Championship in
September is a stepping stone to get FA norm.
Before the
start of the exam in May 18, FIDE Lecturer IA Jamie Kenmure announced to the
exam takers that Palau will be the first Micronesian country to teach chess
from as early as Kindergarten stage. He will be back in a few months to
follow-up in this matter.
During the
FIDE Trainers’ Seminar conducted by FIDE C.E.O. Geoffrey Borg in April 2014,
I was sitting also closest to the lecturer as I did in this recent seminar. I
topped also that 2014 Trainers’ Seminar that resulted in me getting a FIDE
Instructor (FI) title while the other 6 attendees got National Instructor
(NI) titles and the other 7, Developmental Instructor (DI) titles. I can
legitimately teach chess in all 181-member countries of FIDE.
