Chess coaches in Africa are building the next generation of grandmasters
CNN
Nigeria's Tunde Onakoya and Kenya's James Kangaru are helping kids dream big on the chess board.
Chess master Tunde Onakoya is supervising the tournament. Each week, he and the rest of the team at Chess in Slums Africa teach children in low-income communities to play chess.
Founded by Onakoya in 2018, he says the non-profit is focused on kids in poor communities, who are least likely to have access to education. He hopes that playing chess will open up opportunities for them beyond their lives in the slum.
