KCB are heading straight to training as they target to finish their Kenya National Chess Premier League campaign on a high.
Over the weekend, the bankers secured back-to-back wins after edging out Kenyatta University and Nairobi Chess Club at Daystar University.
They started with a 4-1 win over the students on Saturday through Ben Nguku, Ben Magana, Ricky Sang, Philip Singe, and Gloria Jumba while Ricky Sang fell to Nhial Jeremiah Machar of the KU Chess Club.
They overcame Adol Makuch, Shem Aberi, Machar, Nelson Likaya, and Vivian Lucy.
Against Nairobi Chess Club on Sunday, they registered four wins and a draw. Joseph Methu, Ben Magana, Robert McLigeyo, and Joyce Nyaruai beat Mehul Gohil, Pierre Carbonnel, Vasanth Ramesh, and Olive Sang while Nguku was held to a draw by Artem Gurevich.
Woman Candidate Master Nyaruai expressed her contentment after their triumph.
"We had a fierce encounter, especially against the Nairobi Chess Team which happens to have players from across the continent," said Nyaruai.
"But our determination and practice came in handy as we managed to secure the two overall wins. We are going back for more training, as a team, just to make sure we finish the league on a high."
KCB are still motivated by their performances at the World Teams Rapid Championship in Germany, where they ranked top in Africa and position 21 in the world.
