I was simply off form - FM Phemelo Khetho

This time around hopes were high that he would win himself a FIDE title at the Khanty-Mansysk Olympiad, Siberia, Russia. However, it was not to be. FIDDE Master (FM) Khetho amassed only 1.5 points from a possible nine.  He attributes his poor showing to lack of form and fatigue.

Playing Board 1, Khetho was pitted against a grand master from Vietnam, Le, Quang Liem (2694 ) in the fist round. Whatever, he seemed to have lacked composure, as he lost two pawns and gave away a queen for a knight within the first 20 moves.
