The Early Rounds…2018 African Individual Chess Championships Livingstone Zambia in May.

In pic Zimbabwe National Chess Champion Zhemba Jemusse (2123) (left) vs Algerian IM Mahfoud Oussedik (2327) in their Round 2 encounter…It was a tough game but the earlier one was interesting…

Zhemba on the White side faced GM Hasham of Egypt on board 5 in round 1….The total number of boards in the Open Section were 15. The Egyptian GMs led by Africa’s number 1 GM Bassem Amin were the top seeds as well as the clear favourites. Zim’s Zhemba had a very brilliant start almost beating the tough Egyptian GM in the first round, missing a clear win deep in the endgame! The game went on to be a truce as the experienced GM gladly accepted a draw after the former Knights Chess Academy Zimbabwe star declined a Rook exchange on move 37 in an ending where he would have a clear winning advantage with several pawns up!

Here is the game…
