The Zimbabwe Chess Federation is proud to congratulate Tapiwa Jele on attaining the Candidate Master (CM) title at the 2026 FIDE Chess Olympiad held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
This achievement is even more special as it was Tapiwa’s maiden appearance at the Chess Olympiad, where he represented the nation with great pride on the world stage.
For the 2025 Zimbabwe National Chess Champion, this title was long overdue and is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and consistent performance over the years.
The Federation extends its best wishes to Tapiwa on his chess journey. We have no doubt that this is just the beginning of more great accomplishments to come.
Congratulations, CM!
