Well this Sunday chess players under ChessPAK (Chess Players Association of Kenya) organised an event at the Bowling Green Restaurant which is located at City Park, off Limuru Road, Nairobi.
Players were celebrating the demise of the former Chess Kenya officials and their replacement with the Interim Committee for Kenya Chess "ICKC".
I passed by there today afternoon to bring some photos of this event. A total of 24 players participated. Many top players were present and include - Peter Gilruth, Mehul Gohil, George Mathea, Ricky Sang, Martin Oyamp, Philip Singe and a big contingent of 6 players from Daystar University led by their chess loving captain Karan Chrisie.
The event was won by Martin Oyamo and in 2nd place was Wangombe Mugo and third place Peter Gilruth.
Youngest player was Yash Shah who was 8 years old and taking part in his first event.
Enjoy some of the photos!
