TWCA students crowned as Namibian Champions


20-24 March 2019, was the date Namibians could not miss. Or at least not the chess community. During this time 4 TWCA Students won 4 gold medals at the 2019 Namibia National Chess Championships.
16 year old, FM Dante Beukes won the Open Section clear first with 7.5/9 and was awarded with a gold medal and crowned Namibian Champion for a second time. WCM Nicola won the Women's Section clear first with 4/5 and was awarded with a gold medal and crowned Namibia's Women's Champion for a 4th time.

A former student and Coach of TWCA. Goodwill Khoa also won the B-Section with a score of 7.5/8 and was awarded with a gold medal too. WCM Jamie-Nicole won the Women's section of the B-Section and was awarded with a gold medal too. She scored and impressive 4.5/8 and placed 5th overall. This was no easy feat as she left many adult male players in the dust at only 10 years of age. 


A heartily congratulations to our 4 stars and a big thank you to our parents and donors. Thank you for your support.
