Khetho reflects on Olympiad exploits

Mmegi: What was the difference this time around, in terms of preparations for the Olympiad?

Khetho: We had individual preparations.  I had intensive training psychologically, physically and I had an active chess-opening repertoire. As a team, we were not fully prepared given that we did not have a coach and a reserve player.  It is very important to have someone (coach) orchestrating the team strategy round after round, like a shepherd to the sheep, a commander to the army.
