The highly anticipated Lux Afrique Polo Day 2025, taking place on Saturday, 26 July 2025 at Hurtwood Park Polo Club in Surrey, England, is set to feature a thrilling philanthropic chess exhibition by Chess in Slums Africa, founded by Chess Master Tunde Onakoya.
In a spectacular display of skill and strategy, Tunde will take on 20 challengers simultaneously at the Bronze section of the event. The winner will walk away with an exquisite handcrafted Adire Neo Chess Set, valued at $600.
This special initiative goes beyond the board — limited-edition Adire Neo Chess Sets will be available for purchase, with 50 per cent of proceeds funding education for underprivileged children across Africa.
Event Highlights:
• Live Chess Challenge — Watch Tunde battle 20 opponents at once.
• Exclusive Adire Neo Chess Sets — Collectors can own a piece of this initiative while supporting a noble cause.
• Philanthropic Impact — Proceeds aid educational opportunities for African children.
