UPDATE (22-Apr-2023): I’m no longer based in Kenya or involved with Westlands Chess Club. Please click on the link below to visit WeCC’s Facebook page for the latest updates from the club.


Westlands Chess Club (abbreviated as ‘WeCC’)—a club I founded in mid-2011 and which has been defunct since 2014/15—is coming back to life and I am recruiting members for regular activity and for the club’s participation in the 2022 Kenya Premier Chess League.
