Ten weeks into the league 54 players from 16 countries have so far participated. The numbers that participated in this weekโs tournament reduced by 2 to 23. The rankings are still being dominated in the main by the most consistent high ranking players who have participated in 9 or all 10 tournaments. ayirungo ๐ฌ๐ญ remains one exception joined by abilohre ๐ฌ๐ญ who haveย participated in 7 & 8 tournaments and areย in the 6th and 2nd positions respectively.
The 10th tournament of the season proved to be one full of notable games. With the absence of the Oga Otโa of Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ mrjohnson the title was wide open or so we thought. Coach akinking of Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ rose to the challenge to win thisย tournament. However he was deprived of the perfect 7 wins by drawing with his compatriot adebayoademo ๐ณ๐ฌ in the last round.
With his absence the Oga Otโa of Nigeria mrjohnsonโs leads has been decreased toย 15.5 points from abilohre ๐ฌ๐ญ the nearest contender, with 41.5 points. In third place with 40.5 points is roberisco ๐ฌ๐ญ. Will the other players be able to catch up, as the competition intensifies with the entry of more master players. With 42 tournaments to go in this seasonโs league, there is still time for consistent players to make their mark.
Well done to everyone who has participated ๐๐๐. Do well to recruit other players to participate in these tournaments, from your countries in order to enhance your nations scores. This will enable us to surpass last seasonโs tally of 112 players.
