NEOCHESS x TUNDE ONAKOYA
"It is possible to do great things from a small place"
We're proud to announce a new and meaningful collaboration through our sister brand Neochess with Tunde Onakoya, a renowned chess advocate and founder of Chess in Slums Africa. This partnership has led to the creation of the Tunde Onakoya Edition chess sets, available in three stunning variations: Wood, Steel, and Bronze.
Each set is accompanied by a hand screen-printed playing board inspired by traditional Adire fabric patterns, reflecting the cultural heritage and story of Tunde’s journey from Lagos, Nigeria. This limited-edition chess set is designed to inspire and empower children from underserved communities across Africa.

By purchasing a Neochess x Tunde Onakoya Edition chess set, you are directly supporting Chess in Slums Africa’s mission to bring education and opportunities to children in need. The proceeds from this collection will help fund educational programs and chess initiatives in underserved communities.
