While you watch @Samostically and I play a friendly bullet chess match in the video above,here is my re-introduction to hive
I was formerly on this wonderful community then known as steemit, a few of you might know me then, I engaged in chess community then and played some of the tournaments organized by @schamangebert. Asides playing chess I also love to sing, play the guitar and write fictional short stories in my free time.
I spent a few years away from hive while building my chess career. In 2018, I represented Nigeria at the Chess Olympiads which took place in Batumi, Georgia. I got my Woman Fide Master title at the event and also met some great chess players.
A selfie with GM Timur Gareyev popularly known as the blindfold king
I Recall him analyzing one of my games during the Olympiads by just skimming through my recording sheet. I was amazed by his skills he analyzed better than I would have even if the chess board was placed in front of me.
Also met the great GM Fabiano Caruna
After the 2018 Olympiads, I returned to Nigeria and represented the University of Portharcourt in the West African University Games, where I bagged 3 gold medals and was given an award for the Most Valuable Female Chess player in the event.
In 2019, I visited the great city; Morroco where I represented Nigeria in the all african games
In 2020, due to the pandemic, international tournaments were postponed,but I emerged as the the first runner up in the National female chess championship and told myself I was going to do better the following year.
In April 2021, I represented Oyo state in the National Sports festival which held in Edo state, Nigeria where I won two gold medals for the state.
In May 2021, I proceeded to Malawi where I participated in the All African Individual Chess Championship
I had a bad tournament and didn't perform so well due to the financial challenges I was experiencing at that time. I remember coming back to Nigeria with a lot of critics but I knew I was going to recover from that so I rested for some months and didn't participate in any major tournaments.
In November 2021, I emerged as of the National female Chess Championship which took place in Lagos Nigeria.It was a tough tournament and a great experience, and I am still looking forward to achieving greater things in my chess career.
The journey continues as I keep up the effort and put in the work required.

Thanks @perpz for re-introducing your self to the chess community. I really admire a great story and your chess story is really great.
You have really accomplish a lot in chess and should be very proud of your accomplishments. I am very happy that you are motivated to continue to achieve.
I played my first blitz and bullet games a little more than two years ago on steemit. I now realize there are many very nice people and very good chess players in the community that I haven’t met or recently met like our good friend @Samostically.
Again all the things you have achieved are very special but please stay motivated to continue. I see your title in the tournaments but I don’t recall if I had the opportunity to play against you yet.
I like to humor the community and make excuses for bad play by reminding every one that I am a little forgetful now that I been playing chess for over 51 years now.
Glad to meet you @perpz
Yea lol, you say you're forgetful but you still remember how to checkmate with a King and Rook!
Thank you for ths compliments 🙃
