In August, US Chess Women kicked off a series of classes with Chess Meets Business Meets Kids and the Lighthouse Chess Club in Kenya to present a cross-cultural program to introduce girls in Kenya to those in the United States through chess.  

In a recent session, the Kenyan girls taught the American girls how to say the chess pieces in Swahili. US Women's Committee chair also led a lesson on preventing your opponent's ideas. Find our first session, on Back Rank Mates here.
