Oyo the new star shooting through the sky and landed at TWCA...

Oyo Hinda, Correcting the pieces

Oyo Hinda, born 8 September 2010, first came to TWCA in March this year. Her Mother brought her elder brother and a cousin to register and enquire whether she can also enroll Oyo. The Coach asked: "How old is she?" Only 4 years old came the answer. Sorry, we can't take her, she is too young. What a sad introduction. Her Mother has in the meantime decided to buy a chess set and teach her chess at home. 

Daddy Gottlieb, Oyo and Dudley

Oyo was brought again to the chess academy. This time she came to show her chess skill. It was with amazement that we watched how this young daughter of Gottlieb and Menencia Hinda played a chess game against Coach William. She knows how all the chess pieces move, how to capture pieces and how to check. I was told that Oyo has developed a health appetite for chess and is craving to play this mind game almost everyday. Now only 3 month later in June we want Oyo to join.

What is there to gain from playing chess for Oyo. It was clear to me that Oyo has all the innate abilities to become a great chess player one day. 

Oyo vs Coach William

She will improve obedience. 

She will develop her self-control.

She will develop powerful memory.

She will improve her focus.

She will develop her critical thinking skills.

She will develop great self confidence.

She will develop strong nerves.

This is just some of the abilities she has which can be further improved and or develop in a playful manner through playing chess. Important to note we did not teach her the game. She was taught at home and we will do our level best to teach her the best chess as TWCA are accustomed to. 

With this we welcome Oyo Hinda to join TWCA and enjoy her journey as a chess player.

Chess for fun, chess to win!!
