Currently no Kenyan player can view their ratings online. This may also jeopardize Kenyan participation in the next chess Olympiad. Most Kenyan players think this was occasioned by failure by Chess Kenya to pay FIDE arrears of Ksh 500,000 ( 5000 $). More to follow. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 19.26px;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Clouds of uncertainty were hanging over the Kenya open chess tournament at Ruaraka over the Easter weekend. Two chess Kenya rival tournaments were scheduled to take place adjacent to each other; at KCB club and Stima club. Ultimately the venue with the boards, the clocks and more players hosted the tournament. So when the games begun without some top dogs it seemed the Kenya open was a free for all affair.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

They may as well have waved a white flag from the moment Nguku landed in the team-sheet as he tormented the opposition to such an extent that he seemed invisible.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 19.26px;">Starting off with a draw in a state no one could surely play chess, Nguku picked one win after the other culminating in a 7/8 score to win the Kenya open. His list of casualties included Morell Omondi, Ronald Bolo, Vasanth Ramesh, CM Wachira Wachania, Mehul Gohil and James Muchai. By the end, it was a sobering reminder for new Kenyan chess players that when it comes to the hierarchy of chess in Kenya the old school still sit atop the table.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 19.26px;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; line-height: 22.512px;">With a rather dry start to 2016 where chess tournaments go, Nairobi Chess Club’s annual Capablanca Cup tournament (now in its sixth year) over the weekend of February 20-21 was the much needed fountain to quench our Kenyan chessers’ thirst for competition.</span></h3>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 15.008px; line-height: 22.512px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I, too, would have been lapping away merrily amongst them in the hope to achieve my initial standard rating but this time arbitration duties beckoned. I wasn’t complaining though. To be Chief Arbiter of an event of the magnitude of Capablanca Cup was an honour and an excellent opportunity to practice what I learnt almost two years ago at a FIDE trainers’ seminar in humid New Delhi.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 15.008px; line-height: 22.512px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This column’s previous author, Brian Kidula, who is on a much-deserved break from writing after 3 years of diligence week after week, was also at Braeburn School, nursing a cold and hiding from his opponents in the Prestige section under a grey hoodie.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 15.008px; line-height: 22.512px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For me, the highlight of the tournament was the game between Mehul Gohil and Joseph Kirega in Round 1 of the Prestige section where despite his years of experience playing at the highest levels, Mehul fell for a basic trap against his much lower-rated opponent in the Queen’s Gambit Declined opening. <a href="http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2016/03/02/annual-capablanca-cup-sparks-excitement-as-season-gets-underway_c1304728">Read More</a> </span></div>

I wanted to do something like this for a long time, and finally I think it's at a point where I can release this into the wild.</div>

We'll take a look at more than 2 million games, taken from the <a href="http://www.top-5000.nl/pgn.htm" style="background: transparent; color: #7cb34b; transition: color 0.3s ease;">MillionBase</a>PGN database. I ignored any Chess960 games contained, but in total there are<span style="font-weight: 700;">2,197,113 games</span>. I was interested to see what kind of visualizations I can do, and what patterns would be revealed by considering so many games. It was the biggest collection of games I could find, spanning games from 1801 up to 2013, and players with ratings between 215 (wow!) to 2861 (I wonder who that is?). So I think it's a pretty good representation of chess games all around. <a href="http://blog.ebemunk.com/a-visual-look-at-2-million-chess-games/">Read More</a></div>
