Can't just stop loving chess! Shout out to my chess pals Odion Aikhoje, Dapo Adu, Bayo Babalola, Bayo Adegboyega, Rotimi Dashaolu, Bunmi Olape, Rotimi Ajele. Meanwhile, chess is under reported in Nigeria. For instance, how many people know that the first Olympic gold medal ever won by Nigeria was for Chess by Odion Aikhoje at the chess olympiad? Lots of people would recall Chioma Ajunwa but not Odion. Nigerians do not celebrate anything that is cerebral! We would rather talk about mundane things! Anybody up for a game of chess can pm me even though i've been away from competitive chess for eons I'm always willing and able.

I got some of my chess interest and ideas from Dapo Adu, way back in Abesan estate in Ipaja Lagos in late 80s and early 90s. Though, i was not really playing then but i was always behind my cousin and Dapo Adu playing chess. Dapo Adu later represented Nigeria at international competitions and for some of us who had passion for the game it was an opportunity for us to develop more interest for the game. Later, i started playing as amateur among my friends and the game really helped my conceptual skills and ability. The game is called GAME OF LIFE. I wish i could have more time to play chess like i used to before, the last serious encounter i had with chess was when myself and team-mates at FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC ILARO Ogun state was to represent my school for the chess championship at NIPOGA at AUCHI POLYTECHNIC in the year 2003/04 NIPOGA GAMES, ever since, i have not had any serious game with anyone due to many challenges of life as i grow up. I wish i could play with someone of like minds and not boastful players anyway. teepain: |

sped1oro: Dapo Adu is a great chess mind. That left handed dude! Laughing out loud. Whenever he was winning a game in masters 1 then he would cough to attract people's attention to his board! |
Re: 5 Surprising Benefits Of Playing Chess by sped1oro(m): 12:20am On Jul 08, 2017 |
Yeah, but do you also have personal encounter with Dapo Adu? Many people claiming to be chess-masters here does not know Dapo Adu and other prominent Nigerian Chess-masters but they know Kasparov and other foreign chess players, how unpatriotic we are as Nigerians! teepain: |

Chess helps you see things before they happen. You see 3 steps ahead of everyone else. People become so predictable to you. Best strategy game of warlords. |
