When I was a kid (back in 1992), there were lots of chess tournaments every weekend at the underground shopping center in kuwait city oppositethe KFC. They were mostly filipinos. This continued till I left kuwait in 2003. They had banners up, prizes, and LOTS of people who would just sit and watch the competition. It was hardcore!!!

Chess is a seriously competitive sport the world over. This game requires extreme concentration and strategic thinking… Good luck to all the players…

Hey! Thanks for posting this message. And “bo9agr,” the tournament is sponsored by Shiekh Dawoud Salman Al Sabah and The Kuwait Chess Federation. I know this because I am the owner of the blog :)
Actually, we want to make chess more popular for the Kuwaiti community.
Elmushila fi wayid q8tiyeen ye7ebon el le3ba bes ye5afon yel3abon.
We actually discussed this with jem3yet el mohendeseen and they will let us teach children how to play chess. We are hoping to bring chess to everyone, especailly kids.
We have alot of plans of how to make ourselves more known to our community. We of course, suffer from a lot of buraeucratic problems. Anyways no more headaches.
And thanks again for the whoever posted the message!
