Joseph Methu proved that he is the man to beat when he clinched the 3rd edition of the Unplug & Play blitz round robin chess tournament played this afternoon at the Alchemist in Westlands. This made it an impressive 3/3 for the blitz wizard since the event was inaugurated.
He left Mehul Gohil panting in his wake, with a 3 point difference after he garnered 16.5 points out of a possible 17 points, with his only draw coming against Ricky Sang. For his efforts he took home KES 4,000 and Mehul, nursed his yet-again-squashed ambition of dethroning Methu by pocketing KES 2,000.
This was the first of the several events that Terrian Chess Academy shall be hosting every 3rd Sunday of the month at the Alchemist, having taken over from Motochess Ventures at the recommendation of its CEO Paras Gudka.
This coming Saturday August 26th we shall have a rapid juniors and seniors event at the Capital Centre’s Food Court and Mister Wok.
