Today, we celebrate Rachael Pamilerin Kehinde—our first-ever Female Chess Champion.

Rachael's story is one of courage, resilience, and determination. After her family's home was demolished, they were forced to live under a bridge in Isale Eko. Yet even in the face of unimaginable hardship, Rachael never stopped believing her future could be different.

From the moment Rachael join the project, she became one of the most dedicated learners any coach could hope for always attentive, endlessly curious, and determined to improve.

On the eve of the tournament, while many others were distracted, Rachael stayed behind for one final lesson. She spent over 30 minutes mastering the Scholar's Mate opening. The very next day, she used it to defeat an older, more experienced opponent on her way to becoming not only the tournament champion but also the first female champion in Chess in Slums Africa's history.

She also came first in the Mental Math Competition, Her victory wasn't luck. It was the reward for consistency, resilience, and the courage to believe that every move mattered.

Rachael currently is enrolled at @lisacademyng where she continues to pursue her education and build a brighter future.

Her story reminds us of what chess has always represented for Us: a language of confidence, a tool for critical thinking and a pathway to possibility.

This World Chess Day, we celebrate Rachael and every child who has discovered that one move can change everything.

Cheers to Day 1 ❤️

Every move on a chessboard has the power to change the course of a game. At Chess in Slums Africa, we believe in the power of chess to create opportunities that can also change the course of a child's life.

This World Chess Day, we join the global chess community in celebrating a game that goes far beyond the board—a game that opens doors, transforms lives, and inspires hope.

Today, we also celebrate the resilience, brilliance, and achievements of our champions who continue to defy the odds and prove that talent exists everywhere. Their success, both on and off the chessboard, reminds us that when children are given the right opportunities, their dreams can become reality.

We also renew our commitment to creating pathways to a brighter future through chess, education, mentorship, and the holistic support children need to develop critical thinking, confidence, resilience, and the skills to thrive.

Cheers to transforming lives and empowering a new generation of leaders who will shape their communities and inspire others to believe in what is possible—one move, one child, and one community at a time.

Happy World Chess Day! ♟️❤️

Resilience is one of the greatest traits a child can develop. It teaches them that mistakes are lessons, challenges are opportunities, and every setback is a chance to grow stronger. A resilient child doesn't give up when things get tough; they learn, adapt, and try again.

This is one of the many reasons we love chess.

Every chess game is a lesson in resilience. When a child loses, they don't just move on they review the game, identify where things went wrong, think through better options, and develop a stronger strategy for next time. They learn that losing isn't the end; it's valuable feedback that helps them improve.

Over time, children begin to carry this mindset beyond the chessboard. They become better problem-solvers, more patient learners, and more confident in facing challenges at school and in everyday life.

This summer, give your child an opportunity to build confidence, critical thinking, discipline, and the resilience by enrolling your child in our Summer Chess Class today!
