10th All-Africa Games (Maputo, Mozambique)
The 10th All-Africa Games will take place in 2011 in the capitol-city of Maputo, Mozambique. Maputo’s hosting will be only the third time the games will have been held in the southern part of the continent. The 2009 All-Africa Games was held in Algiers, Algeria. The awarding of the games comes after Zambia and Ghana had withdrawn from the bidding process.
Zimpeto Stadium is a brand new 42,000-seat complex built by the Chinese. Interestingly, there are no other venues being constructed for the Games. This will be the first time that the games will be hosted in Lusophone, or Portuguese-speaking Africa.
The All Africa Games will host 26 sports disciplines from around the African continent and includes among others: trrack, soccer/football, swimming, squash, rowing, badminton, volleyball, basketball, tennis, field hockey, baseball and softball, handball, athletics, and boxing. Chess is also in the schedule and many federations have already announced their teams.

I am confident that Mozambique will keep all players well. Wish u well guys
Just concerned with the suffering of people in Libya? Are u sure Libyans enjoy what is happening? Did they invite NATO? May be NATO should go to Syria as well to pump senses there too.
shabazz good work man, pls i need d official site 4 d chess event
The link to the official site is above.
there is no coverage anywhere. You can’t even get overall standings. Official website does not seem to provide any results.
No. There is no coverage I have seen. I have seen some news reports, but none concerning chess.
I have found this in respect of reults.

You can get details on the standings and results for the All African Games 2011 Chess events here…
Took me a merry go round to get it, but i am sure it would be helpful… CIAO!
I had included that link above under “Results”. It was given to me on yesterday by Kim Bhari of Kenya. There is no coverage as far as I know.
Results are now also being posted on the CHESSA website

Thanks to Kim Bhari for pointing this out!
Great, but how about the gamescores? This is classical time control championship, so many interesting games should be played.
I think the chance of getting game scores are very remote. In 2007, there were also no games, but at least there were results.
The games are in there! Check out ZA Fed site.
OK… I’ll begin building result tables with the games
Folks!
Results are available via (https://www.chessa.co.za/articles/aag2011_open_pairings_3.htm)
RSA and Egypt are in the lead with 6 points as in seemingly 2 for a win and 1 for a draw in team match-ups. The individual scoring is cummulative and the tow leaders are on 9,5 respectively.
Gwaze came from Russia with no Love and he quickly stopped the Zim team from sinking with two wins and the Zim team is 5th with 4 points on 7,5 on player contribution. Moyo held El Gindy in an encounter that saw Africa Champ Adley sort Rodwell makoto 1-0 to clear the air that could confuse the draw he allowed him in Afric Champs last rounds.
RSA without Kobese looks strong with IM-Elect Henry Steel leading the charge with 3/3 on board One. Gwaze wants a say on this board with 2/3.
The African Teams strenth is to be settled here on this once and for all. Zim beat Bots handsomely. Egypt walloped Zim (without Gwaze). Zambia looks solid with no Simutowe. Next Zambia collides with Zimbabwe. I wish to see JERE-Gwaze! Maybe not possible.
Why didn’t Gwaze play against Egypt? Sad. I hope he is not playing for the sake of medals.

This is good coverage. Do we know if there were any norms made?
Kola,
Chances would be remote. Certainly no GM norms. Besides GM Ahmed Adly, there were a handful of IMs there. However, I am not 100% sure. The rating average for nine games would have to show a performance rating of 2500 for IM norms and 2600 for GM norms.
I see. Yes, you are right. Norms seem improbable. Thanks Daaim
This was a very competitive tournament. I think South Africa could have won it had IM elect Nicholas van der Nat played. Well done to Egypt.
Yes. There were a number of players missing for South Africa. Bassem Amin was also absent for Egypt and Amon Simutowe for Zambia.
I think SA’s Steel was the best player of the event. Even though Gwaze won gold. I suspect he will move on to become SA’s best player soon.
