RWANDA Chess Federation has appreciated the support of grand master Garry Kasparov which will see the sport being introduced in schools for a period of four years.The Chess Federation vice president Kevin Ganza hailed efforts from Garry Kasparov foundation aimed at raising the level of the sport in Rwanda.“We are happy to see that chess is going to be introduced in schools because we had tried hard to have the sport extended to schools but due to different hindrances, we were unable to accomplish the mission,”“With Kasparov foundation, we hope to finally achieve this target. We will be able to have many champions in future if these kids get to understand and play the game,” added Ganza.Through his foundation, Garry Kasparov Chess Foundation, the chess legend plans to help provide equipment, training manuals, coaching experts and material support to improve chess in Rwandan schools for the next four years.The schools will be identified by Rwanda Chess Federation.
