Team Botswana tops the overal medals table…3 Gold vs Zimbabwe’s 2 Gold…

And here is a touching story in this African Schools event….

The Bible says in Romans 8:31 If God be for us, who can be against us? That is exactly Ms. Nakanyike Maria’s story as all Odds were against her to make it to the continental championship. Uganda Chess Federation labored to look for sponsorship for her and even NTV Uganda ran their plea on Prime News on 30/7/2017. She got to the continental event late, missing two rounds but determined to play like never before.She won all her games beating the Botswana Duo of Ms. Moshoboro Arona and Ms. Banda Natalie Marlo to claim a Silver Medal for Uganda, 100% winning streak, joint first with seven (7) points out of Nine (9) rounds, a FIDE rating of 1820 and a Woman Candidate Master Title. After the Event, she will officially be the second Highest rated Ugandan Lady after Woman Fide Master WFM. Ivy Amoko(1824), ahead of Queen of Katwe Woman Candidate Master WCM Mutesi Phiona(1628) and other Lady Cranes and national players. She would have gotten Gold medal hadn’t she missed even one round.
