Among the standout players were Bella Nashipae and her close friend and nearby neighbor, Zuri Kaloki. Both arrived at the venue together and ready to compete, with both heading into the third round with a perfect score of 2/2, a strong position that set the stage for an exciting showdown. Zuri, playing with the black pieces, outmaneuvered Bella in a stunning game. Bella had the advantage early on, gaining a promising position in the opening. But when she exchanged her powerful queen for a more passive one, Zuri seized the opportunity. With sharp strategy, she focused on a weak pawn, eventually capturing it, which then dismantled Bella’s entire position.} 1. c4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. g3 g6 4. Bg2 Bg7 5. Nf3 Nf6 6. O-O O-O 7. b3 d6 8.
