The national juniors’ event came to conclusion on Saturday at Maqalika Scenery Guest House.
“It was due to several reasons that we had to divert from the announced schedule of the two day tournament to one day with time control of 25 minutes per player. Among others is the low turn up of players”, said Mr Selatela Khiba the Lesotho chess association public relations office.
