<br />
Otto Nakapunda and Immanuel Gariseb won the Arandis Open and
Omaruru Open, respectively, over the weekend.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Nakapunda scored 5 wins out of 5 on Saturday, followed by
Gariseb on 4 points and Simon Shidolo (3 points) who edged out three locals
from Arandis to claim bronze.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This was the second tournament at the town and although the
turnout was not at the same level as the inaugural tournament a year ago, there
was fire on the board with the Arandis residents pulling out all stops for the
honours. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of the day, Saltiel Ismael was rewarded with the
Best Local Player Award.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On Sunday, the Namibia Chess Federation hosted the inaugural
Omaruru Open, which also forms part of the Grand Prix Series.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
National Junior Champion had an incredible run scoring 5
wins from 5 games, followed by National Champion Charles Eichab on 4 points and
Otto Nakapunda a further point behind. Thomas Ehrich and Fillemon Shatipamba
also scored 3 points to share the third prize. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Best Local Player honours went to Rodney !Kaneb, ahead
of Zacharias Domingo and Onesmus Tsuseb.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, history was made on Monday (yesterday) night when
the much anticipated Chess Leagues kicked off at Hotel Thuringerhof. For the first time, a second division was
created owing to the growing popularity of the Royal Game. New comers Jan Mohr
SS, King’s U-Knighted, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Rubinstein, The Kings and Unam Incredible Knights join
last season’s relegated trio of Unam Titans, Checkmate and Poly Rookers to make
up the 8-team First Division Chess League.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The NamSports Premier Chess League (PCL) is the top division
and has been trimmed down from 13 teams to 10 teams this season. The main reason
is to increase the quality of play and the feeling now amongst all players is
that “there are now no easy games.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There were no major upsets in the matches, apart from former
National Women’s Champion Nicola Tjaronda’s surprise win over Capablanca’s Richard
Nyatoti to deny the Champions a perfect start to the campaign.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The PCL will be played on Mondays and will consist of 18
rounds in total while the FCL will feature a total of 16 home-and-away
rounds. All games start at 18h30.
Players who wish to join the League can contact any of the clubs before the 27<sup>th</sup>
April 2015 when registration for the Leagues closes.<o:p></o:p></div>

CM Charles Eichab won his 5th National title at the 2015 National Chess Championship held in the capital over the Easter weekend. He finished with an amazing 6 out of 7 score after drawing against Josef Nitzborn and Simon Shidolo and defeating all his other competitors. In second place tied with Eichab was CM Otto Nakapunda also with 6 out of 7. Nakapunda lost to Eichab in an equally matched game in round 4. In the final round of the competition, Josef Nitzborn drew with the champion to secure the bronze medal. Nitzborn completed the tournament on 5.5 out of 7.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The women's section saw a poor turnout this year with only four ladies entered to compete for the prestigious Women's National Chess Championship title. Lishen Mentile in this section walked away with top honors after defeating her opponents who all formed part of Namibia's 2015 national feamle chess team. She amassing a total of 5 points out of 6 in double round-robin tournament. Mentile was followed by Ruaha Shipindo in second place and Jolly Nepando in third.</div>

Amateur players that took part in this year's tournament were treated to a special B-Section where they competed freely with players of the same skill level. No advanced players were permitted in this section and so young and old players that are recognized as beginners paired against each other and decided their own fate. Final year medical student Onesmus Kamenje was crowned champion in of the B-Section after winning second place runner-up Fillemon Shatipamba and finishing with a score of 6/7. Shatipamba tied with Onesmus on points but lost on direct encounter on tiebreak. Long time junior player Mutago Hochobeb came in third in this section.</div>
