Chess club for students, graduates and friends of UCT - from beginners to experts!
Who we are?
We are a chess club, founded for the purpose of creating and strengthening the chess community at UCT and the surrounding area and attracting more members from around universities, colleges and chess clubs. We cater to all levels of players and everyone can play with us - from complete beginners to chess masters.
What does that get you?
The opportunity to learn the rules, improve your chess skills, meet new people with similar interests, try puzzles on our website, great experiences from physical tournaments and trophies for placement (possible to participate in regular tournaments where you can try playing against players from your level, and maybe even win one of the many excellent prizes for placement). We try to make chess a fun and relaxing activity for everyone interested.
Events
At the end of the "covid era", we moved from online events to physical events, which include semester-long Winter and Summer chess tournaments, and tournaments on special occasions, but we also still organize online events, namely the UCT Chess League, in which points are earned for participation and placement in Lichess.org online arenas.
