The Managing Director of Reiss&Co Ghana Ltd, Jeffery Sowa has put together a National Championship for primary schools to improve their logic and critical thinking skills.
He explained that making chess popular at basic schools will help to improve their logic and critical thinking skills.
Mr. Sowa also expressed the need to focus on introducing chess to schools within deprived areas in the country. In an interview he revealed that it was best to introduce younger ones to chess to help broaden their minds which also helps them focus.
Winner of the 2020 African Schools Individual Chess Championship, Acheampong, called on the Ghana Education Service (GES) to add Chess to its curriculum at the basic level of education.
The eight-year-old noted that being introduced to chess at a tender age has sharpened his brain and helped him think differently among his peers.
Also, he happily remarked that he looked forward to competing in more continental and global competitions to improve his capabilities for the future. He called on companies to support him to become a grandmaster.
