A clean sweep and a Performance rating of 2292 ..! This was a very good preparation tournament for the upcoming Zimbabwe Chess Open Tournament slated for the 29th of Dec 2018 to the 1st of Jan 2019. Kudzanai is the defending Ladies Zim Open Champion as she ran riot again a year ago at the Zim Open traditional venue POSB Causeway in the Harare CBD.
