CBZ 2.5- 3.5 CHITOWN MASTERS
The Confrontation
By GM Nyayera
The first clash between two Olympiad bound players took place today when the irrepressible Zhemba Jemusse came face to face with the Crown Prince of Zimbabwe Chess Roy Mwadzura. Known for his dangerous forays into enemy territory JZ, as Zhemba is affectionately known, had to take the black pieces, as per League rules, against the tricky Roy, himself an advocate of swashbuckling chess. So when Roy opened the game with his favoured 1. e4 and Zhemba responded with the confrontational 1…c5, the stage was set for counter attacking chess. Zhemba easily equalized with his favourite Sicilian Kan set up. With Chitown Masters notching up three quickfire wins on boards 4, 5 and 6 the pressure was surely mounting on CBZ. They quickly bounced right back into the match with victories on board 2 and 3. With CBZ now looking for an outright win on board 1 to save the match, Roy moved a gear up trying to force issues. When he won an exchange late in the game, the tension went fever high and everyone held their breath. The mercurial Zhemba defended brilliantly to earn Chitown Masters the much needed half point that ensured yet another victory. What a match! In the process Chitown sent an ominous warning to the noisy neighbours and to Waterfalls, the League pretenders to the Crown.
