Direct encounter gives Dimba a winning tie-break at the 8th Beukes Memorial Chess Tournament


James Dimba once again won the Kehat Beukes Memorial Chess Tournament but this time around only a direct encounter could separate the top 3 winners as all three finished with a score of 7 out of 9 points each. The Zambian born Dimba first won the tournament in 2010 during his first year at the University of Namibia just to win it again this year in his final year. From the onset the tournament was led by 2nd place winner Candidate Master (CM) Otto Nakapunda who kept an amazing winning streak till round 6 when he finally fell to Dimba in round 7. Veteran player CM Charles Eichab came in 3rd place also with 7 out of 9 following the close race for 1st place.

Other winners from the tournament also included Immanuel Gariseb who won best junior player and Nicola Tjaronda who was crowned best female player. Organizers of the event promise to improve on the event next year and to possibly host at the coast where the tournament was first established.

Here are the Final Standings from the 8th Kehat Beukes Memorial Chess Tournament 2013
