5/5/25, 11:16 AM Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation launches three new literary publications - Middle East News 247

In his novel, The Men of the Chess Club, author Saifuddin Mohammed showcases his creativity in the
realm of psychological crime. Set on a fictional island ruled by a despotic regime, the protagonist is confined
in a mysterious asylum run by a suspicious doctor. The narrative raises philosophical questions about power

and freedom, as the distinction between sanity and madness blurs in a world characterised by strict
surveillance and political deceit. The story becomes more intense as the protagonist finds himself entangled
in a much larger game managed by the secret ‘Chess Club’ organisation.

These publications clearly represent the creative journeys of participants in DIPW’s Novel Writing workshop.
The workshop was designed to help shape the skills of young writers across various aspects of narrative

composition, including practical training on narrative techniques, character building, plot development, and
refined literary style. In addition to fostering creativity, the forum relied on direct interactions and specialised
guidance from renowned authors, instructors, and literary experts to better guide participants.

These new literary works are a remarkable addition to the Arab literary landscape, embodying the MBRF’s
vision to support knowledge-based works and empower young authors to express their thoughts through

creative writing. More importantly, they represent a significant step in nurturing a creative generation
equipped with the resources to positively impact the Arab literary culture with original and modern content.
