National Stadium hosts speed chess

After a nerve-wrecking national championships qualifiers last weekend, chess players will have a chance to soothe their nerves with the less stressful Roscoe Bonna blitz tournament.

The one-day event will be held tomorrow at the National Stadium. Each player will have five minutes per game. The defending champion is FIDE Master (FM) Phemelo Khetho.

Roscoe Bonna is always an eagerly awaited and popular speed chess event. Spectators will be treated to a spectacle as blitz experts like Providence Oatlhotse, Tebogo Pitlagano, Moakofi Notha and Barileng Gaealafshwe will be in action. Last year, Khetho swept aside everyone in his path, is generally not considered a strong blitz player by his rivals.
