Cape Chess: Intimate Chess Evening
Cape Chess is hosting a small, invitation-based chess evening in a private dining setting. The event is designed for players and enthusiasts who enjoy focused play, good conversation, and a refined environment.
Food and beverages will be available through the venue, allowing guests to enjoy quality dining alongside the games. The atmosphere is calm, elegant, and respectful of the game — suitable for an educated audience that values thoughtfulness over noise.
This is not a tournament and not a casual drop-in. Numbers are limited to maintain focus and comfort.
Final timings and details will be confirmed once the venue is officially secured.
