EGYPT ARE THE KING KONG OF AFRICA YOUTH CHESS

The scramble for medals grew so stiff at the 2022 Africa Youth Chess Championships that was hosted at Mika Convention Center in Lusaka, Zambia from 2nd to 10th July, 2022. Even before the event kick started,  the tournament statistics were like a show off of troops ahead of a gory battle ….South Africa- 55 participants, Zambia 45 participants,  Egypt -19 participants etc. ,and  everybody was eager to see who gets more medals at the end of the day.

However, at the end of day the king kong was the Egyptian team, which clinched 13 medals (9 golds, 3 silvers and 1 bronze). The performance brought so much joy to the Egyptians that the team was given a hero’s welcome that included the Egyptian Deputy Sports Minister upon landing at Cairo International Airport.
