Bwalya, playing his seventh game on the board four, made short work off International Master (IM) Providence Othlotse of Botswana in an entertaining game before going on to beat another IM in David Gluckman in the eighth round. Round nine saw the FIDE Master outclassing CM Dion Moyo of Zimbabwe.
Other games saw Zambia’s Candidate Master (CM) Andrew Kayonde bouncing back to winning ways, after his seventh round defeat to South Africa’s FM Nicholas Van Der Nat, beating IM Johannes Mabusela and FM Donovan Van Den Heever both of South Africa in the eighth and ninth rounds respectively to move into fourth place on five points.
South Africa’s FM Van Der Na topped the table on seven points and was closely followed by country mate CM Daniel Cawdrey was on six and half points. Zambia’s Bwalya trailed in the third position on 5.5 points leaving Zambia’s (CM) Andrew Kayonde in fourth on five points
