The Nauru Chess Federation (NCF) has established its position in the international scene. In 2016 Mr Ricko Depaune pushed for membership for the World Chess Federation aka FIDE. To be a member Nauru Chess must be a member for the Continental Chess Federation of Asia aka ACF. Nauru corresponded with the Zonal Chess Confederation of Oceania aka OCC to enable all of the above.
Mr Rene Dube who was the predecessor of NCF had initiated the bridges towards this achievement which took many months of dialogue and research.
Finally by December 2016 Nauru was confirmed a member of FIDE, ACF and OCC.
