Afrika Chess Club Open

Leave a comment

The Afrika Chess club hosted their Open at Ihlumelo High School in Mbekweni on the 10th of June 2016.

Due to the inclement weather (cold and rain, for which we are all thankful), the organizers decided to have the junior players play all 7 their rounds on the Saturday.

The Open Section was won by Athon Willenberg after a tough 5 rounds on one day.

Here are some photo’s of the Juniors, with thanks to Candice Lange for sharing some of her photo’s.  Apologies for the eye glare on some pics – it was due to the flash on phone camera.
