Queen of Katwe

From the largest slum in Kampala, Uganda, to an international chess competition in Moscow and then to the world stage, the trajectory of Phiona Mutesi’s life has been stunningly swift. Her nine-year-old mind proved adept at grasping the intricacies of the “Game of Kings” and she was able to become a chess champion, gain an education, buy a home for her mother, and help others to follow her example.
