Speaking in an interview, Tobi expressed his love for chess, hence his decision to promote the game and impact lives.

“Chess is a real life problem solving game that deals with the involvement of the human mind, and a game of equalizer.

I studied the lives of my cousins and I discovered that they never got trapped, then I decided to learn chess 4-5 years ago.

My goal is to enlighten and create awareness the more in the grassroot level, hence, the creation of D-vine Chess Academy.”

Tobi had a word of encouragement for parents to support their children be it winning or losing. He also urged the children to analyse why they win, why they draw and why they lost and learn from it.

The launching ceremony also had a chess tournament amongst 24 children of U-8 and U-12 only.
