    The time has now come for us to plan the 2011 National Championship.

    For 2011 – I suggest 1st May 2011 weekend which should be a 3 day weekend.

    or Dec 12 2011 which again is a 3 day weekend.

    I will pass by later to take some photos of this important event.

    Any juniors going to take part??

    Hi Chess Events,

    For a long time chess players in Kenya have been oppressed by our tyrannical officials. Just like we attained Jamhuri 47 years ago, I think its time for Chess Loving Kenyans to do the same.

    This tournament was organised solely as a protest and wake-up-call to Chess Kenya. I cannot think of a better protest than playing the beutiful game of Chess.

    Thank you Chess Events EA for highlighting our protest tourney.

    Cheers

    Don G
