In the bustling slums of Katwe, Uganda, the game of chess continues to offer a glimmer of hope for young aspiring players following the release of the movie “Queen of Katwe” in 2016. The film, which depicted the true story of Phiona Mutesi, a young Ugandan girl from the slums who becomes a chess prodigy, captured the world’s attention and shed light on the talent and potential hidden in the impoverished neighborhood.

The journey to success is not easy, but with the dedication of the players, coaches, and supporters, the gambit for a better future for Uganda’s slum chess players remains in play.
