They have potential They know how to see threats and make good moves. However, it does not faze me I was not scared, I was challenged -Ramiso xpectations were met with satisfaction after a Grade 11 DAVRAA player from section Alexandrite took victory in aDespite beng black Ramiso was the attacker

The opponents were not easy despite their younger age, they can make wise decisions disregarding the time that they had wasted Princess Jane G Iyog, her grade 8 opponent, played a lengthy game with her and said she had already accepted defeat

For me its okay to lose since the beginning of the game, I knew I ddnt have anything against Ramiso because she is one of the experts in playing chess so I accepted my loss, Iyog said I laughed at my own mistake when I became queen less in just four moves using her bishop ” she continued All hopes were ended for Iyog when Ramiso puts her Bishop to b4 leaving her the option to sacrfice her Queen

Playing chess is not easy as you were playing it intellectualy, its a challenge for me and my fellow players to make our moves tactics and decisions more wisely and not to be distracted easily n the middle of the game, Ramiso said Ramiso played her last game with her opponent from grade 12 and shook her hand after winning a confrmation that the game was done

“

It wasn't in my plan to participate, I did not have time to prepare, I simply did the entirety I ought to in the sport despite the fact that I wasn't feeling very well
