Hi, my name is Bukenya Batram and I wanted to say thanks for the updates they are very useful for me to guage how good I will need to get in order to qualify aswell.
I also wanted to request an article, one that helps navigating the chess world here in Uganda easier, e.g a chess tournament calenders, where the ucf is, how I can qualify for international tournaments (by the way this will bring a tonne of young people into chess since everyone would like to travel abroad), because until yesterday I didn’t know of tournaments in Uganda until I heard our teacher talked about taking our chess club to the Nationals.
I live in Kampala but I have never heard any announcements of chess tournaments on TV or anywhere.
I only started playing online during lockdown where by I Rose from 800 to now around 1400 but I believe if I knew about chess tournaments I would have easily been motivated to actually train to actually go up the ranks.
I hope my request will be considered thanks again.
