Leemisa Thuseho
THE Chess Federation of Lesotho (CFL) is crying foul after one of its top female players, Naleli McPherson was disqualified from the just ended 2021 African Online Chess Championship allegedly for cheating.
The tournament started on Monday and ended on Friday afternoon.
CFL public relations officer Khiba Selatela said they were told that McPherson was disqualified from the tournament after being flagged by the organisers for seemingly using some form of assistance during one or more of her games despite continuously on video during the games. The games were played on
Zoom.
Selatela believes that McPherson’s consistency and outstanding performance triggered the concerns as she easily outplayed some of the players who are rated higher than herself.

Share
MABOLOKO Leboela and Naleli McPherson were last week awarded Chess Development Instructors titles by FIDE.
Leboela and Naleli will join Lieketseng Ngatane to become the only three women chess instructors in Lesotho.
The duo secured the titles after passing their FIDE Trainers Seminar examinations. The seminar was held online last December but the examination results were only announced last week.
Being an instructor is adding to Leboela’s rich profile as one of Lesotho’s top female chess player. Leboela has been representing Lesotho in all the Olympiads since the country’s first appearance in 2014 in Norway
