One of Africa's brightest chess masters, Robert Gwaze of Zimbabwe, won the Botswana Open International Chess tournament undefeated yesterday.

The widely-travelled Harare man scored six victories and a draw on his way to lifting the title. Barileng Gaealasfwe, who represented Botswana at this year's Olympiad was the only player who took something from the International Master (IM) via a draw in the fourth round.

The draw benefited Phemelo Khetho, Botswana's number one player as he led the log until he met Gwaze on Sunday morning in a make-or-break game for both players.
