Jamhuri is the Swahili word for Republic. In Kenya, Jamhuri Day is celebrated on Dec, 12th.

Nairobi Chess Club uses to organize every year with great success the "Jamhuri Cup" honouring the day Kenya gained self-governance from the United Kingdom.

The shortage of classic chess events because of COVID is the reason for replicating the Jamhuri Cup online.

This tournament is open to all chess.com members and especially to our NCC members. There is no restriction because of your daily rating.
