Great to see the game getting exposure! Big love from Pom to our chess mates in Lae ❤️♟️❤️

UNITECH has launched its first Chess Club on Saturday to support student’s intellectual development at the campus in Lae, according to the club founder.

Unitech Chess Club founder Walter Luna said the initiative introduces a new dimension to campus life, complementing the university’s strong support for traditional sports with focus on intellectual competition.

“The aim was to strengthen the existing chess culture at Unitech and build on it, the initiative was not just about starting a club, but about creating opportunities for students to develop intellectually,” Luna said.

🌟 Chess Family Update! ♟️🇵🇬

Yesterday, our team proudly honored a commitment by joining the Gabagaba Chess Group for an exciting exhibition match! It was more than just a game — it was a moment that celebrated shared passion, community spirit, and the growing love for chess in PNG. 🙌

To show our appreciation and support, CIDH and PNG Chess’s very own Drake W. each donated a chessboard — a small but powerful investment in expanding the game’s reach and inspiring more young minds to take up chess. 💪

A big thank you to the Gabagaba Chess Group for their warm hospitality, and to Gabagaba Primary School for kindly providing the venue. Your support made this day truly special. ❤️

We also extend our gratitude to the PNG Chess Federation, , and UPNG Chess Club for their continued efforts in promoting chess across our communities. Together, we’re proving that chess in PNG is a unified force for good, building bridges, and creating new opportunities for growth and development. 🌍✨

Let’s keep the momentum going and continue writing this beautiful new chapter for chess in Papua New Guinea! ♟️🔥
