Fortunately for Nanyala, his tournament experience steered him to victory in the final.<\/p>\n<p>Nanyala, an engineering student at Unam Oshakati Campus, hails from Arandis and attended the Kolin Foundation Secondary School where he learned to play chess.<\/p>\n<p>In second place was Weekend Chess Academy student Immanuel Gariseb with 5,5\/7.

Swartz scored 18 in comparison to Mentile with 19. Swartz, who made a comeback two months ago after a three-year break from chess, vowed to take the Junior Champion next year.<\/p>\n<p>In third place was Nicola Tjaronda the 2010 Girls Junior Champion, also from the Weekend Chess Academy who finished on 4\/7 as well.<\/p>\n<p>Nicola got a draw in her last game. She was placed third due to the progressive score tiebreak she only had 16,5 points and that placed her third.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read this article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201107271469.html\" title=\"Nanyala is Junior Chess Champion\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nanyala is Junior Chess Champion<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 27 July 2011 SILVESTOR &#8216;Superman&#8217; Nanyala played arguably his best classical chess this past weekend as he notched up another perfect score of 7\/7 to become the 2011 Junior Chess Champion.
