While local youth have long enjoyed a dedicated chess scene, it’s finally time for the adults to take their seats at the table. The Hilton Chess Club is proud to announce the launch of a brand-new Adult Beginners Program, kicking off on February 21st.
Recognizing that many adults and older teens feel sidelined by the perceived complexity of the game, this program is designed exclusively for those aged 16 and up. Whether you are a total novice who has never touched a pawn or someone looking to dust off skills learned decades ago, this six-week program offers a sophisticated yet social environment to master the "Game of Kings."
The course focuses on the logic, strategy, and psychological depth of the game. Beyond the technical skills, participants can expect to improve their mental agility; sharpening memory, focus, and problem-solving, while connecting with fellow Midlanders in a relaxed, social setting. While the Hilton Kids Chess Club continues to serve the younger generation, this new space is strictly reserved for adult-led learning and focused play.
"We’ve seen a considerable demand from young adults, parents, and local professionals who want to learn the game," says the organizer of the Hilton Chess Club. "This is about community, strategy, and having a great time with your peers."
Spaces are limited to ensure quality coaching. For more information or to secure your spot, contact the club directly: 078 688 3985
