About Hermanus Chess Club

Founded in 2016, Hermanus Chess Club has been a cornerstone of the local chess community. Our mission is to promote chess as a game of strategy, learning, and social connection.

We host regular club nights, coaching sessions for all skill levels, and tournaments that attract players from across the Western Cape. Our welcoming environment encourages players of all ages to engage with the game and grow their skills.

The club is run by a dedicated executive committee committed to fostering both competitive and recreational chess in Hermanus.
