Today, as we say our goodbyes, let's remember the true spirit of chess. As the saying goes, "Chess is a great equalizer. It brings people together from all walks of life." This tournament has not only been about competition but also about the friendships forged, the lessons learned, and the memories made.

You've shown that chess is more than just a game; it's a universal language that unites us all. Take home these experiences, the camaraderie, and the knowledge that you are part of a global chess community.

Safe travels to everyone, and may your future be filled with many more games, victories, and lifelong friendships. Thank you for being a part of this amazing event. Until we meet again, keep playing, keep learning, and keep growing.

Even after the last round, the chess is never ending! ♟️ Seems the players are still hungry for more. After 9 grueling games, the 15th edition of the African Youth Chess 2024 has concluded. 🌍 Prize giving starts at 16:00 local time. See you soon.
