This highly anticipated event is expected to be explosive on the board with the grand venue and some of Kenya’s finest players taking part.  Added to the mix is a number of young upcoming players including Timothy Mwabu, Sumit Deshpande and Martin Njoroge.

This event is a historic one for Kenya as there will be live transmission of the top 5 boards on this website Kenya Chess Masala.  This has been brought to you courtesy of Terrian Chess Academy who recently acquired the top of the range DGT Chess Boards which are internet enabled.

Has Africa ever ever had live transmission of any chess tournament?  It is possible that some event in the past might have had live transmission of the games.  However North of the Limpopo River and South of the Egyptian pyramids this is likely to be the first!

The event has been organised by Terrian Chess Academy who were recently recognised as one of the 47 FIDE Chess Academies in the world.
