The 2022 Liberia National Individual Chess Championship has hit a critical point after the defending National Champion Bobby Ballah was beaten by Joel Ebiekuta during a critical match in round 5 on December 13. The Liberia Chess Federation (LCF) kicked off the ongoing National Individual Chess Championship on the University of Liberia (UL) Capitol Hill campus on Friday, December 9, 2022. But the most important, which is the individual classical event, will determine the actual Chess Champion and Female Chess Championship of Liberia. The 2022 National Chess Championship is the 5th edition of this premier chess event since the establishment of the Liberia Chess Federation in 2014. In November, the Liberia Chess Federation launched the 2022 National Chess Championship, which is being organized as a chess festival.
