The 2nd edition of the much anticipated Millionaire Chess Championship gets underway today with all the notable chess players in line for participation at the Chevron Recreational Centre, Gbagada Lagos .
As expected , it will be a fierce battle among the topranked players to be the winner of an all expense paid trip to USA and participate at the forth coming Millionaire Chess Open in Atlantic City USA in October . International Master Bunmi Olape who won the maiden edition and was part of the galaxy of chess stars that participated in the main event held Las Vegas last October will no doubt have stiff opposition from the emerging stars who are aiming to dislodge the old order .
“ It was a unique experience last year in Las Vegas and I will be glad if I can win again but knowing fully well that the road to glory just like in the last edition will be tough but I am equal to the task , ” Olape said .
Top players like International Master Oladapo Adu , Bomo Kigigha , Abimbola Osunfuyi, Daniel Anwuli , Adeyinka Adesina , Ochuko Emuakpeje , Adebayo Adegboyega , Ademola Sorungbe are among players likely to be part of the event .
