TWCA STARTS 2018 WITH A BIG BOOM!!

The Deadly Trio - Dudley, Patience & Oyo

2018 seems to be the year we are going to make new waves. In fact our players went to South Africa and played in The South Africa Wild Card Junior Chess Championships and scoop a 1st prize, and Dudley Noreseb had a perfect score of 7/7 and took gold. Patience and Ottilie also fought hard and both took Bronze in their categories. These are small victories in RSA, but big victories for our Academy. It's just once again evidence that we have the skill set to deliver. We are tired to play and come back empty handed when we go across the border. Africa should know Namibia means business. We do not intend to win only we want to surpass them. Why not?

To crown this performance we had a record intake of 25 new students at TWCA alone this year. There is more good news coming. We are looking forward to the Schools Zonals which will take place this coming weekend 17 February 2018. We wish all our students great success.

A family feast on chess - Awesomeness!
