Chess in Afghanistan
I often get distracted playing chess, spending many hours that I should probably be doing something else, but hell I enjoy playing chess and it looks like the Afghans do as well.

Dear friends. My name is Ivan Chalupa and I am from Prague form Czech republic. When I found information about chess in Afghanistan for my prepared book about chess history in the world (I want to have got the list of FIDE members with foundation date in this book) I located your web pages. Please, I would like to know when was Afghanistan Chess Federation founded and something about its history. (I know when it affiliated to FIDE in 1984). Thank you for your answer.
