Odeh K. Foxwoods 2009 (1) |
1. e4 Kenneth Odeh is orginal from Nigeria and the National Junior Chess Champion and won a silver medel in the Africian Junior Chess Championship, 1990. After finishing college, knowing one of the biggest cost in playing chess was travel, I decided to become a airline pilot so I could play competitive chess and travel free. I fly for Delta, Although, I didn't know it would take me 10 or 14 years to become a pilot. I'am really excited to be back in chess and this game against Rogers was a big encouragement for me.
