TWCA Students Excel at Independence Blitz

Saturday, 19 March TWCA students played their best chess again to victory. Dante Beukes came 3rd overall. The best 13 year old to ever play in the Independence Blitz. Other kids his age does not come close. A young talented lad who does not disappoint. He has a passion for chess like no-one else his age in Namibia.

He was not the only star from the TWCA camp. We had Keisha Van Wyk who won the 2nd best women prize in the Independence Blitz. Another girl who shines when the going gets tough.

Then we have our u/18 Junior Champion, Christopher Ndoroma. Who won the under 20 section ahead of his peers.

Congratulations to all three our students. Keep on pushing and the hard work will surely be rewarded.
