@dondekojo and I had a $100 bet on Arsenal vs Man City winning the league. He won yesterday and, instead of taking the money, asked me to direct it to a better cause, which I’m now very grateful to be part of. There are a few talented Nigerian kids set to represent the country at an international chess tournament being hosted in Nigeria for the first time, but some of them can’t afford the €180 registration fee. I’ve just donated $500 to cover two participants, and still can’t for the life of me believe that a 2000-rated FIDE player almost missed out on this opportunity because of registration fees. It’s honestly embarrassing cos you’d expect something like registration fees for kids representing the country to be covered by a government body, federation, or something idk If you can support one child, two children, or even contribute whatever you can, please do. Sometimes the difference between a gifted child competing on the world stage and watching from home is just a few people like you reading this deciding to care. Abeg support these guys however you can.
