Francis sisters give impressive showing in Baku

Despite the Francis sisters being in a team that is otherwise performing below par, Tuesday night saw the Woman International Master, Onkemetse ending Round Five as the top ranked player in the Botswana team and among the Top 20 in Board One, remaining undefeated since the beginning of the world showpiece.  She now has 3.5 out of a possible five points.

 In the five games Onkemetse has played thus far, she secured three draws in the opening round against Austria, in the third round against Malaysia, and in the fifth round against South Korea on Tuesday evening, in a round in which all the Botswana women emerged with draws.
