" I came back from school today around 4:00pm only to to be told by my roommates that my chess friend had come earlier looking for me. I was really tired, and hungry. But then, that guy was the only reason why i still play this game. He visits me at intervals, even odd hours to catch some few hours at a game we both love. Most times, if not him, i end up not playing games upto a week. Chess players are scarce around my side. I knew i had to be the one visiting him today

. I had #50 on me so I can buy donut nd hold stomach cha. Grabbing my board, i set off to Eziobodo.

. Does chess really exist in Nigeria?

Yes Nigeria has a large chess community. Onlin qnd offline. You can start by downloading Lichess and playing online game. You are sure to see some Nigerians online. Where do you stay?

I stay around owerri now. Futo mainly. And well, i meet quite a number of players. However, d tempo is very low. Beisdes, i dont see tournaments around here where someone can compete.

There are plenty tournaments online. I can introduce you to a whatsapp group with some of the major chess players in the country and they organise online tournaments regularly. But let me test you first to know. My lichess id is uchame, what's yours? Let's play a game or two online

It "does" exist in Nigeria but usually in small groups.

Which location are you?

I play in 2 islands, on the isaland and in ikorodu in Lagos.

Thanks guys for the contribution. Well, I personally don't usually play chess online. The feel of that physical tension is quite interesting to me, ND I like seeing the mood of my opponent to decide whether I can use it in a game. That's y I prefer offline game.
Also, I stay around owerri too, FUTO to be precise. If any one is around there, we can arrange a meeting. What do u think guys?

You should have seen the tension and pressure I was under in this game!

The game looked favourable to you already @budaatum. You had a queen ND Bishop, or was there any tactical brilliancy?
