The head of the Cuban federation of that sport, Carlos Rivero said that the executive will arrive accompanied by part of his work team to know details of the science game in our country, especially on issues related to the development of children.

The Russian Fide president will be accompanied by the Latvian Dana Reizniece-Ozola and the Moldavian Viktor Bologan, vice-president and executive director of the international entity, respectively.

The visitors will hold working meetings with authorities of the Cuban Chess Federation, and will be received by directors of the National Institute of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation and the Cuban Olympic Committee.

"This is Dvorkovich's first visit to Cuba and we are going to show him part of the work we do here. He will have the opportunity to visit the facilities of the ISLA Chess Study Center and will also meet some of our talented children," Rivero commented.
