Helderberg Chess Club invites mothers and their daughters to its Raise a Strong Girl – Make the Most Powerful Opening Move chess day at Gordon’s Bay Primary School on Sunday 31 August from noon until 15:00.
The event is not just about chess; it’s about confidence, connection, and community, as well as celebrating queens – on and off the board.
There will be inspiring talks by Dorothy Potgieter, titled “Moms Make Masters: Why Your Support Is the Real Opening Advantage”, and Women International Master (WIM) Khadidja Latreche, titled “Inside the Mind of a WIM: Lessons for Life and Chess”. There will also be team chess games and children’s activities for queens of all kinds.
The cost is R50 for Helderberg Chess Club members and R60 for visitors; the first 25 child bookings will receive a free ChessKid Gold Membership sponsored by Her Move Africa.
