The Potchefstroom Chess Club is making waves with its exclusive opening event, set to take place on 10 June 2025 in Potchefstroom. With no tickets to be sold and no random walk-ins allowed, this is not your average chess gathering. If you're keen to join the ranks of Potch's strategic thinkers, you’ll need to get an invitation, and quick!
By Invitation Only
The club is pulling out all the stops for its launch. There’s no ticket website or flashy ticket prices because this event is strictly invite-only. Spots are limited, and they’re going fast. The organisers are looking for folks who have a genuine love for the game and the community around it. So, if you’re interested in joining the club, the only way in is by sending a direct message to the organisers.
Here’s how you can reach out:
And if you’re already in the know, most details will be shared on the private group, no peeking for the curious bystanders!
A New Community for Chess Lovers
This club isn’t just about competitive matches and tournaments. It’s about building a space where everyone can learn, share strategies, and, most importantly, have a bit of fun. From newcomers still learning to move their pawns without causing chaos, to old pros who know the difference between a rook and a bishop, everyone’s welcome… as long as you’ve got an invite.
Expect to see casual meetups, training sessions, and tournaments for all ages and skill levels. There’s no pressure to be the next grandmaster, just a love for the game and a bit of good sportsmanship.
Ready to Make Your Move?
So, if you’re keen to join this brand new club in Potch, get your DM in early. It’s all about building a community of players who want to grow and compete together, one move at a time. No tickets, no sales pitches, just good old chess and a friendly atmosphere.
Checkmate boredom. Let the games begin! ♟️
