As a parent of three children, I’ve seen them explore hobbies and passions, I’ve seen them succeed and fail. No matter what, they need encouragement, support, and love and often a little spark to encourage taking risks. Now take that concept and apply it to living in a third world country. QUEEN OF KATWE is an inspiring true story of a young girl named Phiona, who sold corn on the streets of Uganda and then had her life altered when she is introduced to the game of chess. Confidence, determination along with the support of her family leads Phiona on a journey as she pursues her new found dream of becoming an international chess champion. It’s a story of overcoming the odds and finding your inner Queen.

I have not played, but I want to learn.
I am not a good a player as the rest of the family. I just know the moves and not much about strategy. 🙂
I am not that good but both my sons played in school on a team so they know it well!
My brother and I used to play chess when we were still in school. I would love to pick the game back up and I enjoy the challenge. Thank you.
I played chess many years ago with my dad but, not since. I would give this to my son.
I have indeed played chess and really enjoy it! I’m self taught but not that good at it if I might be honest; my boyfriend on the other hand plays video games and is a master at strategy so he beats me every time we play each other. Thank you for this amazing chance to win!
I’ve played before but If I won it would be for my son who enjoys playing every chance he gets.
I don’t play chess but the hubby enjoys chess very much!
I haven’t played in a long time and am not that good a strategist. But enjoy playing.
Yes, I have played. I am teaching my son to play right now actually. He is pretty darn good for an 11 year old too.
