Bosnians take time out from the war to come to Manila
MANIIA. June 9: Chess players from Bosnla-Her-zego-vina had to flee fierce fight-
I ing in their
homeland to do battle of a more peaceful kind at the 30th World Chess Olympiad tn Manila, reports Reuter.
The war. which has left thousands dead, forced ’Ihe chess team members to fiy in from different corners of the worjd before they met up In a hotel in the Philippines Just before the games began on Monday.
"Our team will have only four players. We are still waiting for two more players to come in from the war In Bosnia." said Ivan Sokolov, a young Grandmaster who hails from war-torn Sarajevo.
Zdenko Kosul. a Croat. Grandmaster, is stuck In the town of Blhac white Nebojsa Nikolic, a Serb. Is pinned down in Sarajevo, where Serbian forces backed by the army have set dozens of buildings ablaze.
"The chances the two players can sti^ come is about five per cent because they are In towns where the war contln-. tics." Sokolov stated.
The composition of the men's team reflects the volatile ethnic mix that has sparked the war tn Bosnia. There are two Serbs, two Croats, a Moslem, and another player who is Half-Croftt and Hatf-Bulgarfan.
The Bosnians Will be facing teams from Slovenia and Croatia, republics that had brone the brunt of the fighting wheh they seceded from Yugoslavia earlier this year
A team from Yugoslavia was barred from competing by the Philippines in tine with stiff UN sanctions prohibiting in-
ternational links with Belgrade for its alleged support of Serbian irregular forces fight Ing in Bosnia.
Faced with the problem of cobbling together a team in a republic torn by war. the Bosnian Chess Federation worked the telephone finesto form a squad and told the members to fly to Manila In time for the June 8-25 con-tesL
Predrag Nikolic. the brother on Nebojsa and the team's top player, and Sokolov, who has a Bulgarian father and a Croatian mother, both flew to Amsterdam after tournaments
In Spain and booked their flights to the Philippines.
Former world junior champion Boran Kurajica. who was teaching chess in the United Arab Emirates, got a telephone message from the Bosnian fed cration telling him to proceed to Frankfurt to pick up his tickets for Manila.
Emir Dizdarevic. a Moslem Grandmaster, was playing In another tournament in Italy when he also received instructions to go to Frankfurt and then to the Philippines.
If Kosul and Nebojsa Nikolic fail to extricate themselves from the ethnic fighting in Bosnia. they "will have no reserve players because of the war." an official said.
The four wlio are already in the Philippines will have to play the entire 14 rounds of the tournament without relief.
The women's team ted by Grandmaster Vesna Basagic made It to Manila fn fully strength.
