Day 2
Day 2 saw the Open section start with quite some upsets in round 3 from several players one of them being The former National Champion; Joseph Methu who lost to The upcoming junior; Mcligeyo Robert.
After round 4 and 5 water had to find its level and the greatest question remained: Will the overall winner emerge from Kenya or Uganda? This is because the Last round was between Musasizi Emmanuel from Uganda and Hinga Githinji from Kenya who both had 5 points each. The match was really tight and whoever would win this match would be the automatic winner. However, after a hard fight by both players; the game ended in a draw and Githinji Hinga become the overall winner based on tie breaks.
In the ladies category, Gwen Jumba dominated the category and scored a whooping 6 points out of 6 rounds!
Open Category Winners
1. Hinga Githinji - 5.5 Pts
2. Njoroge Martin - 5.5 Pts
3. Musasizi Emmanuel - 5.5 Pts
4. Ramesh Vasanth - 5.5 Pts
