The “African Lion” IM Watu Kobese won the South African Open with a staggering 9.5/11 (+8). At one stage he had eight wins in a row and was only cooled by a draw to IM Thomas Rendle. IM Kenny Solomon came in second on 9/11 with losses to Kobese and Rendle. See Results
Congrads both Watu and Kenny!
Watu stayed with me for a few days, he was content to look at my NIC magazines and explore Bed-Stuy and weeksville in his off time. His achievement is more remarkable in that hewas an IM without internet access or data base usage.

Hello Daaim,
is it possible to have Watus games published from the SA Open? I am particularly interested in his games against Kenny Solomon, Thomas Rendle,Nicholas van der Nat and J Steenkamp.
Thank you
