Tunde Onakoya Launches Social Chess Club 'Good Move' in Lagos

Tunde Onakoya, a Nigerian chess master and Guinness (NGX: GUINNESS) World Record holder, launched 'Good Move', a weekly social chess club, on September 23 at PANU Lagos. This initiative aims to bring together chess enthusiasts, casual players, and individuals interested in the culture surrounding chess every Tuesday. 'Good Move' seeks to create a welcoming environment for players of all experience levels, allowing them to play chess, meet others, exchange ideas, and enjoy the game in a less competitive atmosphere.

Onakoya, who is also the founder of Chess in Slums Africa (CISA), has dedicated years to using chess as a tool for social change, helping hundreds of out-of-school children in underserved communities in Lagos gain access to formal education. His new club aims to integrate chess into mainstream culture, demonstrating that a single good move on the board can lead to significant opportunities off it.
