IM Amba, Oyon Marius Claude (CAM)
Only players from Burkina Faso, Cameroon , Ghana and Togo took part in the last edition in year 2014. Nigeria which is by far the strongest Chess playing Nation did not send players to the event for some reasons, though the award of Those titles to the participants of the 2014 event could be seen as questionable as there were no titled players at the event and the FIDE rating of the players at the event were very low in fact IM Amba, Oyon Marius Claude had was unrated before the event, this seems weird but then FIDE must have its reasons for going ahead with the approval of the award to those players.
Looking at it from the positive angle it is a good thing that players from Ghana and cameroon now has International masters and FIDE masters albeit gotten on a platter of Gold since Nigeria did not send players for that particular event which would have made it a very difficult task for other countries to get close to the top Titles as nigeria has got so many players above ELO 2000 and even above 2200, it is hoped that Nigeria Chess federation will present Players for the 2015 edition this time around to ensure the Zone 4.4 Tournament gets a higher standard and a stronger field of Players.
