The top three coaches will receive the same prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Werner said that the training would begin once they have a total of 20 children and five coaches who have registered for the chess training tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For information or to register as a participant or coach, send a WhatsApp message to George Werner at 071 346 6922 or email george@actnow.co.za.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"65906\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/donation-assists-chess-club-to-host-beginners-tournament\/astonbaychessclub1_95761\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AstonBayChessClub1_95761.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"AstonBayChessClub\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Chess players&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Chess players from the Aston Bay Chess Club.                                                                                                                                           &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AstonBayChessClub1_95761-1024x683.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AstonBayChessClub1_95761-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Chess players\" class=\"wp-image-65906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AstonBayChessClub1_95761-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AstonBayChessClub1_95761-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AstonBayChessClub1_95761-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/kougaexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AstonBayChessClub1_95761.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chess players from the Aston Bay Chess Club.
