a sophisticated Nigerian romantic drama that uses the metaphor of a chess game to explore the strategic, emotional, and often unpredictable moves we make in love, ambition, and personal growth. Set against the bustling backdrop of Lagos, the film follows:
👉 A sharp-minded brand strategist—headstrong, sarcastic, and fiercely independent—who navigates heartbreak and professional ambition while trying to protect her heart from further harm.

👉 Mr. Adam (Daniel Etim-Effiong)—a no-nonsense, emotionally guarded man whose life has been shaped by past loss and responsibility. Their paths cross in ways that challenge both of them to rethink what they truly want from life and love.

👉 Naya (Bambam)—a bright, witty woman with her own emotional scars, whose presence brings warmth, humor, and healing to the story’s emotional core.

As the characters confront career pressures, family expectations, and the risk of vulnerability, CHESS illustrates how life and relationships are like a game: every move counts, every sacrifice has consequences, and the best strategy isn’t always the obvious one.
