Our Story

Founded in November 2013 by Kris Eale and Norman Maliga, who have represented our region and country at the highest levels of competition, the Midrand Chess Club embarked on its journey with invaluable support from Johannesburg Metro Chess (JHB METRO) President Shanks Naidoo.
Guided by this mentorship, we swiftly integrated into JHB METRO, hosting numerous internal and JHB METRO-rated tournaments, establishing ourselves as a vibrant hub for chess enthusiasts in Midrand.
