Major Nigerian Chess events for year 2015 becomes Norm events for FIDE International Master title

 The Nigerian Chess Federation is yet to roll out the Calendar of chess events for the year 2015 , however one could get a glimpse of what is likely to happen from the recent release of  Calendar of Chess events in Africa for year 2015 by the KASPAROV CHESS FOUNDATION . The Nigerian Events reflected on the Calendar are as follows  1.Nigerian Breweries  National Open (NBL) 2015  19 - 22 October ,   2.  3rd Lagos Classics  26-29 October,  Both tournaments  will be holding at Teslim Balogun Indoor Sports Hall, Lagos, Nigeria , Both shall be FIDE rated and also now reflected as   IM NORM tournament , meaning one could get an international Master title Norm from these Tournaments  under FIDE regulations.  The Nigerian Chess Federation Presidents Cup is slated for Early November  and it will also be FIDE rated.  Though the dates reflected above may be tentative, however the situation where Lagos classics comes up immediately after the Nigerian Breweries Championships has many positive sides to it as it enables Busy chess players to prepare for that important  Chess playing two weeks and thus schedule a leave of absence from Work for that period.Other money spinning Chess tournaments expected for the year are Oba's cup Chess Tournament in Benin city Edo State, C4 Chess tournament in Lagos, and hopefully the return of NFOC Chess tournament promoted by eminent Chess event Organizer Mr Dasaolu Rotimi (Dashey)
     The Nigerian Chess federation  (NCF)President Mr Lekan Adeyemi has promised so many good things , including many FIDE rated tournaments in Nigeria This year and he also added that the Calendar of Chess Events will soon be released by the Nigerian Chess federation very soon.
