In a display of exceptional chess play, Sharon Rafael, a top seed boasting a rating of 2103, has left spectators in awe by securing victory in all three rounds of the Under 20 Open Section - Phase One. Sharon Rafael's strategic brilliance was on full display, and he made it look almost effortless as he maintained his position on board one. His performance has undoubtedly served as a resounding announcement of his presence in the Zambian chess scene, marked by powerful and precise moves that reverberate like nuclear detonations. "For those within Lusaka, I extend a warm invitation to witness this young prodigy in action on board one. In the upcoming fourth round, a young contender hailing from Bemba land in the Northern Province, representing the Crocodile clan, will step into the arena. He is poised to demonstrate to Sharon Rafael the unique celebration of 'ukusefya pang'wena,' a testament to the rich cultural diversity of Zambia," the Chess Federation said. In the same development, Innocent Mano, rated at 1865, is set to face the formidable challenge presented by Sharon Rafael. This battle promises to be a contest of wills, with Innocent Mano determined to leave no stone unturned in his quest for victory. On the opposing side of the board, Sharon Rafael appears to be strong, and the prospect of defeat or a draw seems to follow him. His chess foundation is rock solid, much like Sir Isaac Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. Sharon Rafael is indeed a force to be reckoned with.
