About teaching Malala, he appreciated how she is such a quick learner.
“Chess is a mind sport and it should be a part of our school curriculum. @ZindagiTrust adopted a govt school, SMB Fatima jinnah which has produced a national champion in chess. Here I am trying to teach @Malala how to play chess.
Must say that she is a quick learner” he wrote.
