Arthur Ssegwanyi (born March 12, 1988) is a Ugandan chess player. He was awarded the title of International Master (IM) by FIDE in 2015 as a result of winning the Zone 4.2 Individual Championship in the same year.[1] This victory also qualified him to play in the FIDE World Cup 2015.[2][3] In this event, he was paired against the fourth seed, Anish Giri.
