Who I am: (a small biography about me)
My name is Khaled and I am 24 years old. I began to play chess professionally at my second year of university (AUK). The first tournament I joined was the AUK-chess tournament. I lost badly! At that time, My ELO was around 600. I was a beginner. Mohamed Muneer, another kuwaiti chess fan won that tournament. Making him the AUK chess-champ 3 times in a row!
My first WIN:
I promised myself to win next year. I bought my first Chessmaster 10th edition from Hawaly. I trained hard in openings, strategy and tactics. Than next year, on the 1st round, I played against Hashem Hussain. I blundered my queen for two knights and a bishop!!! We continued to play and he fell into a trap, i ended up with two extra pieces in the endgame. I won easily. The final round was against MOHAMED MUNNER! MY RIVAL!!! As I said before, he won the AUK chess-championship 3 times in a row! To be honest, i was a bit scared. I knew I got better. But playing a tournament game is different from playing a freindly game. The opening part was bad for me! Mohamed had two central pawns while I had a really bad position. He controled the board. I quickly got desperate, and started to launch an attack. Lucky for me, Mohamed blundered. Instead of moving his queen to safety, he decided to attack my queen with a pawn. He lost that pawn and i ended up winning his queen. He resigned and I won my first championship! The trophy now sits in my room.
Sharg tournaments:
I have participated in the sharg tournament 2 years in a row. It’s an amazing experience. Any chess-lover in kuwait has to play in this tournament. It it usually in February or March. There are 9 rounds total. The time control is 90min + 30 sec per move.
FIDE Ranked Kuwaities:
There are currently 3 rated Kuwaiti Players. Bader Al Hajeri, Faisal Al Hamlan, and Taher Al Khateeb. Bader Al Hajeri has an ELO of over 2100 making him the strongest kuwaiti player. [I almost beat him in a blitz game 🙂 ]
Other Chess- Friends:
Omran & Ali Moussawi, Nasser & Abdullah Maqseed, Hashem Hussain, Emmanuel Ygpuara, Basir Cosain, Bomer Bocobo, Reda Mohamed, Mohamed Qabazrd, Mohamed Muneer, Bader Khaldi, Amer AlAmer, Bader Hajeri, Taher Khateeb, Abdulsalam Dakheel, Khalaf alAzmi, Waleed alAwadhi, Adel Amiri, Read Alahmadieh, Abdulmohsin Almishary, Lyon, Nooraldeen Mohamed, Francs Pellobelo, Mohamed Al Ansari, Husain and Bader Al Mutari, Nasser Al Dehaini and many more. All these people love chess like i do, maybe even more.
Final Comment:
I hope this site will continue to grow. I hope to bring information to everybody here who needs it. And i pray that Chess will be a recognized sport throughout kuwait. Thank you for reading. Be well citizens of kuwait.

Hi Khaled,
I want a good chess coach for my 9 year old son. He is a beginner, but plays well compared to most kids of his age. If you can refer a good coach to me.
My phone no. is 99153106, maild id: snehaljshah@yahoo.co.in
Thanks.
Hi Shah,
I’m not sure you can find a teacher in Kuwait. But to make sure, you can contact the secratary of the KCF to see if anybody is offering. His name is Sami Ayoub and his # is 66661949.
Also I think most people in Kuwait are self taught. Personally, I used the chess program “Chessmaster 10” to improve my abilities.
i like to join in the kwt tournements

Hello Khaled nice to see knw abt ur site here. i recently have come frm india n wanna n a big chess enthusiast. I just wanna participate in Chess Tournament here. Wats the procedure fr it, I also wanna knw if there is ny tournament conducted here. U can mail me on zakir_raza@yahoo.com. Thnks see u later
take care
Byee
Hello Zakir and welcome to Kuwait. I’m glad you like chess.
It’s a shame that you just missed a tournament about 2 weeks ago.
If you check back regularly on this blog and even our facebook fanpage, I’m sure we’ll let you know if there’s any new developments.
And if you’re interested in playing just friendly chess, I recommend the Filipino Chess Association in Kuwait City. They have an active club where members play blitz, long games and such.
Thnks a lot Khaled!!! i have already applied today fr registration of filipino association. lets see wat is their reply. in future if there is ny tournaments plse let me knw. can u tell me where i can get chess books here i mean shop or mall as i m new here. take care bye n thnks a lot again i have already become a member in face book.
Your most welcome. And no registration necessary Zakir. You can go and play directly in the filipino chess club. It’s open to all those who want to play chess. Their website might be very very outdated, even more outdated then this one 🙂
And if your interested in books, the only thing I could recommend is buying them through the internet. I don’t think any book store sells good chess books in kuwait.
And make sure you join the “KUWAIT CHESS CLUB KCC” fanpage.
The other one is completely dark. No one uses it. Not even its members.
Thnks Khaled, I’ll do as u told me.n keep on touch lol

I am Engineer Sharjeel Ahmed from India, now working and residing in Salmiya, Kuwait.
The game of chess has been something very close to my heart since childhood.
Never appeared for FIDE rating; but yaap took some professional training in chess.
I was university captain for 4 years and had a good time with chess.
Since last two years, could not get a chance to play due to my earlier job in Qatar.
Now in Kuwait, I feel I should get back to chess and try to be atleast a consistent tournament player henceforth.
When a goggled chess club in Kuwait, I got to know your details.
Please guide me…with best chess club and practice places of chess players in Salmiya.
Cheers!
Shukran, Jazak Allah hu khairan!

In fact, just doing a mental inventory of all the things in your life
you have to be grateful for will help you feel better
about the one or several things you are down about. Or you have a bad day which means you end up eating chips, donuts and chocolate while watching a film
and all the time your self esteem drops lower and lower, in fact if it went any lower it was hit the opposite side of
the world. If you are new to EFT, try doing these phrases by simply tapping gently on top of your head (on your crown).
Can you help to work in your country as a Chess Trainer thanks…
