Sadam Ali Sheikh leads Kenya's onslaught in the individual online Para-Olympiad which gets underway Friday. Ali was the winner of the inaugural Kenya National Chess Championship for People Living With Disability in October 2019. The Olympiad for People Living with Disability will feature 30 countries with each fielding one. The main/ team event was scheduled for between July 28 and August 5 in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia but the surging Covid-19 pandemic has deterred the players to converge at a central venue. A lover of chess blitz, Ali intimates that he will be on his toes and keen to avoid any mistakes.
