Is Chess Existing In Nigeria Really? by Sageboss(m): 12:05am On Apr 21, 2019 |
" 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? 1 Share

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? |

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