PALAU CHESS TEAM TO BAKU
REGISTERED
THE PALAU Chess Team composition was submitted to Kema
Goryaeva, the Registration and Accreditation Manager of 2016 World Chess
Olympiad in Baku, Azerbaijan, on June 16, 2016 by Roberto Hernandez and Jeffrey
Balbalosa, who are also members of the team Palau.
The
meticulous system of registration was finally completed after all members
submitted their scanned passports for accreditation. The next step is to wait
for the accreditation badges and individual invitations for the members of the
team. The visa application forms were already sent with the “Purpose of
Journey” (42nd Chess Olympiad), “Number of Entries” (Single), and
“Receiving Party (Name, Address of
Company of Private Person) Baku Chess Olympiad Operating Committee, 93 Zarifa
Aliyeva Street, AZ 1000 Baku, Tel. +994 12 599 10 90 already filled-up.
Roberto
typed the “AGREEMENT” that states ‘’As per Palau Chess Federation’s Board
Meeting on June 02, 2016, the five (5) members of Palau Open Chess Team to 2016
World Chess Olympiad in Baku, Azerbaijan must deposit $500.00 as bond to ensure

Balbalosa,
Gonzales and Alcid deposited their bonds in the morning of June 15, 2016 while
Hernandez and Suringa, Jr. did it in the afternoon at 2:15.
In
that Board Meeting, the 2018 World Chess Olympiad in Batumi, Georgia’s Palau
Chess Team composition was also tackled. The winner of 2016 Palau National
Chess Championship, to be held after the Baku Olympiad, will automatically gain
a slot to the Batumi Olympiad. There will be women’s team this time as it is
FIDE election year (every 4 years) that coincides with that Olympiad.
A
few hours after submitting the composition of Palau Chess Team, Roberto got an
email from Ms. Kema Goryaeva, thanking him for registering Team Palau. Later
that day, Roberto checked all of his 5,000 Facebook friends and Ms. Kema
Goryaeva is one of them. It is only then that Roberto has confirmed that she is
a lady. Her complete first name is Kermen that’s why Roberto is not sure of the
gender.
