See the word coming out from a Nigeria adult, as if he was not once a Nigeria child.

Awwww.
Recently watched the movie "Queen of Katwe" last week. A movie produced by Disney in 2016 on slum kids who learnt how to play chess starring Lupita Nyongo.
Loved the movie. It was truly inspirational.
I guess this idea came from the movie.
Well done

Poseidon is the username on Lichess. Abeg add up and beat me.

On the topic, chess is a beautiful game. I can't say more than that and I am glad the kids are learning.

Despite the few scholarships offered to some of the children, it's a huge goal to ensure that all of the children under the Initiative have access to education. Most of them live in abject poverty and can't afford basic stationary items to even stay in school. With this in mind, a fundraiser have been created to help the initiative better the lives of these kids.

If you would like to support the initiative

Here is the link to donate:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-support-chess-in-the-slums-in-nigeria

I'ld like to join this initiative so I can support it with both cash n kind...I'm a strong lover of the game of strategy. Please email or WhatsApp me with the needful info. Cifo1145@gmail.com or 08053126947.

The game is over hyped, booring as fuvck when you are too good & ur opponent is an amateur, And extremely time consuming if your opponent is good.

In summary, god of war is MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING, as you get to enjoy the feeling of slaying old gods, giants & mythical creatures who get in ur way

I think I see your point.

Chess is not really all that an interesting game.

At least, to me.
