PATRICK Kawuma missed becoming a Fide Master by one point on his debut at the 39th World Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia.
The youngest member of the men’s team amassed 6.5 points out of 11 rounds at the Olympiad missing just a point to be made a Fide Master like his older brother Stephen Kawuma.
In the last round of the tournament Uganda beat Ethiopia 2-1 as they ended their three week adventure at the Olympiad in 106th posi¬tion in the men’s standings out of 147 nations.
Mesfin Leykun beat Harold Wanyama on board one to give Ethiopia their first win, but the Ugandans bounced back with Patrick Kawuma and Shadrack Kantinti, beating Mulugeta Ashenafi and Debesay Yohanes.
