♟️ I’ve Qualified for the USSA Chess Closed Trials! ♟️

“I’m excited to share that I have officially qualified for the USSA Chess Closed Trials! 🏆

I am currently raising R6500 to help cover:
✈️ Traveling costs
🏨 Accommodation
🍽️ Food expenses

Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings me one step closer to proudly representing Nelson Mandela University Chess at the tournament.

Your support would mean a lot to me and would help make this opportunity possible.

Thank you for your support!”
