This is also chess
Chess is not the kind of thing that's regularly covered by a huge sports media network like ESPN. Last week, however, they had a captivating story about 14-year-old chess progidy Phiona Mutesi from Uganda, who leaves the Katwe slum for the first time in her life to play at the Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk. Chess is not just Tata or Linares, chess is not just Magnus Carlsen, chess is not just about novelties in the Sicilian. This is also chess.
