CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA – Chess Masters, an innovative online chess platform, has officially launched in South Africa, offering a comprehensive and interactive environment for chess enthusiasts to hone their skills and connect with like-minded players.
The platform aims to build on the rich chess heritage in South Africa, where the game is revered not only for its intellectual and strategic challenges but also for its potential to drive education and social development. Chess Masters eliminates traditional barriers to chess development, providing users with instant access to a range of resources and tools. These include:
- A competitive leaderboard, where friends can challenge each other and showcase their skills
- A library of learning materials and tutorials, curated by internationally acclaimed instructor, IM Watu Kobese, and tailored to individual skill levels
- A vibrant community of chess enthusiasts from across South Africa
- Opportunities to win prizes and participate in tournaments
“We’re thrilled to bring Chess Masters to the South African market,” said Mpho Mathekga, founder of Chess Masters. “Our platform is designed to make chess more accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding for players of all ages and skill levels.” The platform intends to level the playing field for Sandton to Isandlawana. A girl from Soweto can have the same access as one from Clifton. From Karino to Diepsloot, Bayswater to Gugulethu, Wilkoppies to Motherwell and Thornhill to KwaZakhele literally ANYONE in South Africa can get access to the best chess lessons and knowledge while enjoying the added benefit of exclusive prizes as you progress in your path to enlightenment!
All content is mentored, curated and overseen by the legendary South African International chess Master, Watu Kobese who needs no introduction.
You are able to utilize the “Invite a friend” feature to invite your friends and chess rivals for some healthy chess competition. The whole thing is hosted on the Vodacom network so you will need a Vodacom sim to participate.
