A New Chapter in Chess! ♟️👑

Our very own GCF Founder, Sir Benoni Wabe, attended the Integrated Institute of Electrical Engineers (IIEE) Chess Tournament at SM Downtown, where he had the opportunity to experience an exciting new variation of the game—Mobile King Chess. 🔥

Unlike traditional chess, the objective is not checkmate. Instead, players must guide their King to the center of the round board to claim the Excalibur, blending classic chess strategy with a thrilling King Arthur-inspired quest.

Innovation keeps the game alive, and we're excited to learn more about this unique and fascinating version of chess! ♟️✨

♟️ Every move tells a story. Make yours count!
