Remember the buzz word “Chess Mashinani” we had some time ago? Loosely translated from Kiswahili to mean “chess at the grassroots”.
“Chess Mashinani” goes a notch higher when the Kitui Schools Chess Tournament takes place on 1st July 2017 at the Kitui Multi-purpose Hall in Kitui town.
This event is being organised by Mr Samuel Mwimenyi who is a teacher at Mosa Secondary School, Kitui county.Mr Mwimenyi has been involved in chess since 2014 and brings great passion to the game that is so close to his heart.
