Introduction:- Babatunde Ogunsiku: Head of Africa Chess Media

Hello everyone,

My name is Babatunde Ogunsiku, I am a storyteller, photojournalist, as well as the Co-founder and CEO of Africa Chess Media; a platform dedicated to showcasing, celebrating, and promoting African chess talents to the world, and telling African Chess stories, the African way.

What began as a passion for documenting chess stories has grown into a movement; a movement that connects players, fans, along with chess federations across the continent and beyond. Through our articles, photos, interviews, and events, Africa Chess Media has become a voice for the African chess community, highlighting our brilliance, struggles, and victories.

My mission is simple: to see African chess take its rightful place on the global stage, where our players not only compete but thrive, inspire, and transform lives through the game.

Whether through photography, writing, or organizing events, I am constantly driven by one belief, that chess is more than a game; it is a tool for growth, strategy, and change.

As an author, I wrote the book CHESS: The Life Changing Tool, which was launched last month. It is a book that breaks down the principles of Chess and shows how they relate to Life, using various examples.

I hope to become an active member of the Hive family, as I share some stories from the African divide.

Join us as we continue to tell Africa’s chess story, one move, one frame, and one victory at a time.
