D.F. Malherbe High School has a strong chess team that trains once a week throughout the year. Matches usually take place on a Friday.  Chess is a sport that develops players’ mental capacity. We strive to develop our players into provincial players, and also create a fun environment to bring out the best in the players.

Any learner is welcome to join the chess community at D.F. Malherbe High School whether their interest is competitive or for relaxation.
