Congratulations to the Junior Champions Silvestor Nanyala from Unam and Lishen Mentile from ZCA for their excellent performance. The coaches of TWCA are very proud of our students. Our goal is simple. We teach chess to children to ensure that they win at least 1 or 2 games at their next tournament. Well, the kidos are fighthers and have always come back with a medal after every tournament. Congratulations to all of them Immanuel Gariseb got a Silver medal for his 5.5/7 score in second place behind the Junior Champion Silvestor Nanyala.Stephne Swartz also got a silver medal with 4/7 behind Lishen Mentile. Then we had Nicola Tjaronda also with 4/7. Well done kidos. You are the best!!
Worth mentioning was the sterling performance of Christo Retief. If he defeated Nanyala in the last round he would have been the Junior Champion. Unfortunately, he could not pull it off, but there will be a next time for sure and Christo will be better prepared. He has good prospects for 2012.
That was not all. We also have the following stars who took the top spots 4th Julian Isaak, 5th Christo Retief, 6th William Kamberipa and 7th Matjiua Kajovi. The other star is Camy Nitzborn in 4th place behind Nicola Tjaronda also with 4/7 in the girls section.
Then we have Jack Tjaronda, Tibor Trepper and Joshua Britz all who came to test their skill level against the best. Welldone, Welldone. You all gained valuable experience and we trust that you will have much fun next time. Chess for fun, Chess to win!!
