INTRODUCTION TO HIVE
Hello Hive Community! My name is Joy and I’m new here.
I would like to appreciate @samostically who encouraged, motivated and for introducing me to this great platform. I know this is a great opportunity to grow, meet new people and interact with the Hive Community.
About My Chess Journey
I found about the game of chess in 2008. I went for my first ever national sport festival in 2011 when I was only 7 with the help of my uncle who was also my coach and the state coach, I played on board one and won a bronze medal.
Here is a photo of me with GM Nigel in 2012.
I played my first ever rated game in 2020 at the national chess championship in Iwo, ibandan, where I played a lot of the top players and finished strong.
Here is a picture from the event
My chess journey continued in 2021 when Danhypro started hosting junior tournaments and also sponsoring. I was able to train and play without having to think about sponsorship issues, I easily became one of the top ranked females in Nigeria.
Then in 2022 I played my first ever international event, Fide Chess Olympiad in Chennai, India
Here is a photo of my team

OTHER ENGAGEMENTS
I recently started learning cyber security about 4 months ago, it has been interesting so far.
CONCLUSION

Also i would like to thank @stayoutoftherz for helping me create my account and @aliento for delegating the resources credits to publish this post.
