2013 Tanzania Open (Dar es Salaam, Tanzania)
Tanzania is one of the most scenic countries in Africa. When I traveled to Arusha, Tanzania in 2010, I was enthralled by the warmth of the people and the natural beauty of the landscape. Of course there were the wonderful safari outings that are a must-see! The fledgling chess community of Tanzania will host an open event and has gotten confirmation that GM Nigel Short will participate in the event.

Daaim, Thanks for this post. The dates were however revised to 14 to 16 June 2013
Great things for Chess in Tanzania. Congrats and good luck to the organisers, sponsors and players from the Jamaican Chess fraternity. Nice of Nigel to participate.
Very pleased to see this! The most under-appreciated country in Africa. Very little violence, diverse natural beauty from Zanzibar to Ngorongoro to Kilimanjaro to Gombe to all the beaches, and great street food (especially cassava, mandazi, madafu and kahawa). Dar-es-salaam traffic is horrible these days though from what I hear (was last there in 2005).
