Round 4 Match Zimbabwean IM Rodwell Makoto (2381) vs Nigerian FM Oragwu Chukwunonso (2191) ..Photo credit African Chess Media

FM Oragwu Chukwunonso was the beneficiary of a miscalculation by IM Rodwell Makoto..

Makoto vs Chukwunonso Rnd 4 board 12

A10 English Opening: Great Snake Variation

Before this round the Zimbabwean and Nigerian players were all at 1.5pts. IM Makoto was looking forward to garner a point from this game following his false start in the first round when he went down to a lower rated player again. Lady luck was not on his side this time again.

36…d3 a lone pawn

It was going to be a Nigerian that would enjoy the upset tag, as FM Oragwu Chukwunonso was the beneficiary of a miscalculation by IM Rodwell Makoto, after the latter felt he had the middlegame sorted out and should have a routine victory, only to be undone by a lone pawn. The pawn which the Zimbabwean rejected, became the destroyer of his well oiled plan -according to Africa Chess Media.

Other top boards in bits and pieces….

-On board 1 GM Adly Ahmed defending the pride of the Egyptian people, while GM Bellahcene Bilel was ripe from his victory over the pride of Africa.

– On board 2, it was sac after sac as both IM Andrew Kayonde and IM Fy Rakotomaharo shared the spoils of battle in a brilliantly contested war on the chess board.

-On board 3, as GM Amin Bassem fought for his life in a game that saw him heave a sigh of relieve after his opponent lost.
