Social chess in Pretoria

Chess is better with company. I host regular social chess evenings and friendly tournaments around Pretoria — come for the games, stay for the community.

What's on

Two ways to play

Monthly Social Tournament

Roughly once a month

A friendly, relaxed tournament that draws around 20 players of all strengths. Great fun, a bit of competition, and a brilliant way to meet other chess lovers in Pretoria.

Tuesday Evening Chess

Most Tuesdays, from ~18:00

Casual over-the-board chess to round off the day. Bring your A-game (or just come to learn) — everyone from beginners to seasoned players is welcome.

Where & when: we play around Pretoria, and venues, dates and times can shift. The WhatsApp group and my Facebook page are the best places to catch the latest details.

One group for both events

I run a single WhatsApp group for the monthly tournament and Tuesday chess. Join to get reminders, confirm dates, and chat with the rest of the crew.
