The main objective for the Ugandan players in such a high level event is to try and get results against rated opposition so as to aquire their first international chess ratings.
To attain this, you need to play nin rated games. Benjamin Mukumbya attained that and acquired a first rating of 1917 at a similar event held in Al Ain, UAE last year.
