FINAL REPORT
Wednesday 09 March 2011
The last day was a bit of
an anti climax with the winners with the 2 sections
virtually assured! The ladies section already had its
winner, with the boys leader a point clear and only
needing a draw! And seeing Roberto hadn't yet lost a
single game, I don't think anyone thought he would start
now! So it was just a fight for the minor places left
really!

REPORT 5
Saturday 05 March 2011
Round 7 went well for South Africa with our main focus,
Tshepang Tlale, winning her game quite easily. Many
young players forget that is better to lose a rook for a
minor piece than lose a minor piece for nothing! And
that is what happened here. At one stage, Tshepang
sacced the piece back tp pick up 2 pawns and open the
black king, but black didn't take the piece. Easy win
for Tshepang!

Day 5
is a thing of the past... I'm writing this report on the
morning of day 6! round 7 has just begun! I was a bit on
the ill side yesterday, so left my report a bit late!
Day 5
was a pretty good day for the South African team, with 1
result in particular! Now that we are also at the stage
of only playing 1 game a day, things are a bit more
relaxed this side.

relaxed refreshed after the days break we had! 2 long
hard days were played on days 2 and 3... at least now we
are just playing 1 game per day in the morning! With
some big games coming up tomorrow morning (day 5),
especially Tshepang's game which could decide where the
title goes!

REPORT 2
Tuesday
01 March 2011
March is now upon us as I write this day 2 report. The
weather outside is lovely, and the view from my room is
now stunning since I have been moved to a new room!
Yesterday was a long day, with 2 games being played. And
today will be no different. The schedule was changed to
have 2 games played today, with the rest day tomorrow
and thereafter just 1 game per day in the mornings. I
was told the change was due to potential noise problems
we might incur in the evening game later in the week!
Something to do with the noise created when the Bulls
win convincingly!
