Ramsgate Chess Club was started with a simple idea – to bring people together through chess and create a friendly, welcoming home for the local chess community.

Founded in July by Schalk Coetzee and Sarah Unsworth, the club meets every second Saturday from 11:00 to 14:00 at The Art Café in Ramsgate (957 Marine Drive).

Players of all levels are welcome, from beginners and those returning to chess after years away to experienced players looking for a friendly challenge.

Chess offers more than competition; it develops concentration, patience, strategic thinking, problem-solving and planning, while providing an opportunity to meet people and make new friends.

For younger players, chess can help with logical thinking and decision-making, while adults can enjoy the mental challenge and social connection.

Bring a friend, your strategy and your best opening move. For more information, contact Sarah on 083-331-3866 or visit www.ramsgatechessclub.co.za.
