The UZ team comprised of: Fungai Mudziki, Tinashe Njagu, Simon, Chipo Gift Mubambe, Arigundiya Munyaradzi and Brilliant Chikanya.Tinashe Njagu and Chipo Mubambe had perfect scores white washing all their opponents. Our International Master Robert Gwaze played against Alexie Shirov in 2007 after he had conquered Africa.He was the first Zimbabwean to qualify for the World Cup and he will do the same this year. Kudos. Below is a game he played against GM Shirov.Shirov was white and Gwaze played black.e4 c5,2 Nf3 e6 3d4 cxd4 ,4 Nxd4 a6, 5 Bd3 Nf6, 6 0-0 Qc7 7 Qe2 d6 8 c4 Nbd7 9 f4 h5 ,10 Kh1
