WOKHA, July 26 (MExN): The Kyong Hungjantaren Ekhung (KHE) Wokha, for the first time conducted a chess coaching camp as a part of its ‘capacity building programme’ with Er. Mhonlumo Kikon, former general secretary Nagaland Chess Association (NCA) as the resource person, who demonstrated live chess game through computerized example and distributed free materials and CDs at LMS school Wokha, Saturday 25 July. He stressed on the need to cultivate chess as a hobby as it develops the brain faster than any other games. Around 95 students ranging from standard V to college students from various schools and colleges and 13 school teachers attended the camp where they were given free chess boards.
Earlier KHE Sports secretary Nzanbemo Jami chaired the function and LMS School proprietor, Yanren Tungoe pronounced the invocation prayer, while KHE Chairman Y.Likhao Humtsoe welcomed the guests and participants and encouraged them to cultivate chess as a vocation and gave the example of the renowned international Grand master Vishwanathan Anand. He also added that students who play chess has a higher IQ and perform better than other in their academic career. And he further said that this chess coaching camp will culminate into Wokha District chess competition and also stressed that the KHE will continue to cater to the needs of the present generation through games and sports to harness the hidden talents.
Meanwhile the KHE has specially thanked all the schools/ colleges for participating wholeheartedly. KHE special thanks go to the resource person and his accomplice Er. Solomon Solo, proprietor LMS School, headmasters, principals, hostel wardens, parents and the students who attended the camp to make it a grand success.
I had to check where Morung is. I'm still not exactly clear on this, but it seems to be a part of a "tribal area" in northeastern India, officially a part of India, but not really a part of India. I may be wrong about this, but the analogy that comes to mind is the American Indians with their separate independent tribal reservations within the United States, except this area in India is (are?) not sovereign nation(s) like recognized American Indian tribes are (under U.S. federal law). Readers, please educate me about this.
