Join Us in Uplifting Humanity Through Chess
The Chess Heights Foundation believes in the transformative power of chess to bring joy, growth, and community to individuals. We’ve been organizing the Chess Heights Monthly, a rapid one-day tournament held on the first Saturday of every month, since January 2010. Starting in Lagos, this initiative has now expanded to 20 states across Nigeria, with a remarkable 14 states participating in December 2024 alone.
Our Vision: A Nation of Chess Players
Our ambitious goal is to make Chess Heights Monthly a reality in all 37 states of Nigeria, ensuring that every first Saturday of the month witnesses exciting chess action across the country. Your generous support will be instrumental in achieving this vision, allowing us to bring the joy and benefits of chess to every corner of Nigeria.
Beyond Monthly Tournaments:
We’re also organizing two prestigious events:
- Chess Heights Open Classics: A quarterly classical tournament held in four geopolitical zones in Nigeria. This event will not only impact the national chess psyche but also showcase Nigerian talent to the world by attracting a larger national and international audience.
- Chess Heights Close Classics: An exclusive six-player invitational tournament featuring a five-round round-robin format over three days. This event will highlight the exceptional skills of Nigeria’s chess elite while providing captivating entertainment for chess enthusiasts worldwide.
