Together with Tap Chess Academy, we're powering their Chess for Bright Minds in Akwa Ibom Schools program — our first collaboration with chess schools in Nigeria. We're providing access to VibeChess for 2,000 young learners and the 40 coaches guiding them.

We're also building a bespoke learning program around Tap Chess Academy's curriculum, so students can learn the game in a way that feels personal and encouraging.

And this first cohort is only the beginning. Tap Chess Academy's broader vision reaches 200,000+ students across 3,750 schools, and this pilot is our first step toward growing right alongside that mission.

Let's vibechess.
