Injustice against Royal Chess Club Members Chess is a noble game. Chess players are hardly in the news for the wrong reasons. Yesterday, i made my way to see a friend at one of the local chess clubs (Royal Chess Club ) in Kubwa, Abuja. Club members often meet after the close of work around 5pm at 2-1 Garden, Kubwa, Abuja. Abuja is structured around gardens. Before you walk a kilometer or two, you will most likely see 4-5 gardens. The experience as narrated by Mr. Yemi owowa: "Yesterday, 10th April 2017, There were ten (10) players there present playing chess at Our Royal Chess Club, 2-1 Garden, Kubwa, Abuja. Five (5) policemen came into the club arena and told us all to sit on the floor. We have never experienced such before since the inception of the club. With fear in our minds, we obeyed and sat on the floor without questioning. A 52 year old man (David Bamidele) stood up to speak to one of the officers, only for him to receive a heavy slap from one of the officers as he ordered him to sit back on the floor or face his wrath. Few minutes later, we were ordered into the police bus without knowing the reason for our arrest. Club members who came in their cars were told to get in their cars and they drove us to phase 4 police station, Kubwa, FCT Abuja. We were at the station for two (2) hours without knowing why we were arrested. Later, we were asked to show our identity cards, which most of us presented to the officers while we were remanded at the counter for no offense committed. We tried reaching our relatives to come through for us but the officers stopped our relatives from getting into the police station. They grumbled and murmured among themselves and released us while they remained unapologetic. To our dismay, we were told they collected the sum of N17,000 from some of our relatives and the manager of 2-1 garden before we were released. All we ask is for Justice to be served. These set of men who arrested us for no reasons whatsoever are a disgrace to the Nigeria Police Force. We will appreciate if you can help share this on your social media platforms till it gets to the right authority. If corruption is to stop, it has to start with men in the uniform. We are calling on Individuals and lawyers who might be interested in our case, to help take it up seriously till Justice is served. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Toritse the queen of Nigeria chess players needs your support to facilitate her travel for the African Individual Chess Championships in Algiers, Algeria, from 1st July, 2017 to 13th July, 2017. This is an opportunity for her to bag the Women International Master (WIM) or even the Women Grandmaster (WGM) Titles. The Travel Fund is an effort to support the chess pursuits of Toritsemuwa Ofowino and it also provides financial support for Toritsemuwa's chess-related activities including tournament expenses, travel, and lodging. Toritsemuwa qualified twice(Norway 2014 & Baku 2016) to represent Nigeria at the World Chess Olympiad but due to financial and technical reasons, she couldn't attend. Toritsemuwa Ofowino is the most active Nigerian Female Chess Player. It is her mission to become the first Women International Master (WIM) in Nigeria and West Africa. Please click link for donation. Thank you very much for your anticipated Support. https://www.generosity.com/sports-fundraising/support-toritse-chess-travel-fund |

Kasparov returns to tournament chess. Interesting... let's see how this goes. #stlouis |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by ToyinDipo(m): 1:18pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
Loluores: Very exciting, he has always had these fire in him while analysing chess matches in recent tourneys. I doubt he can still play classical chess against these theory monsters. And I hope he doesn't pull a Jobava in this tourney. |
Re: Nairaland Official Chess Thread! by BlueMags(m): 11:30pm On Jul 09, 2017 |
Loluores: I really doubt if he can still do this. i still believe though that his personality can still intimidate. |
