*🇺🇬FM Bob Bibasa: "The Beast" Registers for Kiambu Open Chess Championship Grandprix!*

*4 Days to Registration Deadline*

We are thrilled to host a titan of the game, FM Bob Bibasa.

A fierce competitor known for his relentless tactical pressure, Bibasa is currently the man to beat.

Representing Victoria Chess Club, Kenya , he is spearheading a maximum point raid on the Kenya National Chess League, maintaining a flawless streak that has the entire circuit on notice.

From clinching the 2025 Zabasajja Memorial title to drawing against Grandmasters on the continental stage, his pedigree is undeniable.

_The Beast_ doesn't just play for draws, he plays for the win.
