/I had been told about Phiona; how at the age of nine she could neither
read nor write and had dropped out of school, when she met a Ugandan
missionary, Robert Katende, who offered to teach her the game of chess – a
sport so foreign in Uganda that there is no word for it in Phiona’s native
language – and how in just four years she had become an international chess
champion./
