I was walking down the street with my friends when I saw two kids locked in a battle over a chessboard. ♟️ ​I couldn't just walk past. I sat down to play, and the moment we started, the look of pure excitement on his face said it all. ​It reminded me that chess is more than just

This experience can be truly heart-wrenching and discouraging, especially considering he likely stretched himself thin financially just to make the trip. Wishing you strength, Champ. I encourage the chess community to reach out to him privately and see how we can help.

1. The 1st Sardauna Chess Tournament, Kwara. I came into this tournament with two major goals: to raise funds towards completing my UNIBEN clearance following my recent admission, and hopefully put something aside towards getting a laptop so I can begin learning a tech skill

The 1st Sardauna of Ilorin national Chess Championship in Kwara State has officially come to an end. ♟️ Finished the tournament with 5/7, recording 4 wins, 2 draws (one draw against Nigeria'S number one ,the formidable AAA) and 1 loss against CM Toluwanimi. It was a good opportunity to test myself against strong opposition, learn a few things and identify areas I still need to work on. Not every tournament will go exactly as planned, but every game is part of the journey. Congratulations to all the players who made the tournament a success, and a big thank you to the organizers for putting this together. Back to the board, back to work. There's more to come! ♟️💪🏽

JUST IN: Nigeria's chess federation, founded in 1975, has gone more than five decades without producing a single Grandmaster, with its strongest players consistently falling short of the required three GM norms and a 2500 rating.

I’m there!!
Okayyyy, so l am finally doing the thing. I am starting my YouTube journey. We are talking community management, breaking into tech, career growth, building a portfolio, navigating opportunities, attending tech events, building in public and figuring things out as we go. Basically, all the things I wish someone had sat me down to talk about when I was starting out. And, of course, little bits of my life in between because there’s more to me than my Linkedin and Xprofile 🌚 First video drops tomorrow at youtube.com/@ibi_fiberesima
