A big congratulations to Sithande Nyangiwe for winning the tournament with an impressive 6.5/7 points. His only draw came by repetition against Asemahle Skeyi in a game that was not really in his favour, but the draw he secured gave him hope and kept him in the race.
From there, Sithande had to secure a crucial win against Inam Phakathi, who went on to finish in 2nd place and also claim the 1st Best Junior award.
Well done to all the winners and every player who participated. Dunoon chess continues to grow, and the players keep showing more hunger, confidence, and fighting spirit. ♟️🔥
