Chess on the Nile – a Tournament of Hope

Egypt is a country of about 80 million inhabitants, but the country has just three grandmasters. The “hope” in the name given to the Egyptian Youth Chess Championship 2009 expresses the desire to produce more GMs, and to get more boys and girls come in to play the royal game. To this end a potent sponsor has set up a Chess Academy. Big illustrated report by its director Medhat Moheb.
