Carlos Daniel Albornoz, Cuba's leading chess player with an ELO rating of 2,577, has requested to leave the national team. This decision comes ahead of the World Chess Olympiad in Uzbekistan and follows the departure of other key figures from the squad. The move is seen as a significant setback for Cuban chess amid ongoing challenges.
