At the University of Pretoria, students and learners not only develop their academic skills but also enrich their social lives. Striking a balance between academics and social engagement allows students to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Extramural activities play a crucial role in this balance, connecting youth to a broader network and fostering meaningful interactions with peers who positively influence their development.
One of the enriching extramural activities offered at UP-Tuks is chess—a game of strategy, critical thinking, and mental agility. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting, TuksChess provides an inclusive and dynamic environment where students can sharpen their skills, engage in friendly competition, and be part of a community that encourages intellectual growth.
At TuksChess, we offer a diverse range of programs to cater to every level and interest in the chess community. From competitive trials to social play, you have a variety of options to choose from.
The TuksChess Club does not hold regular practice sessions; instead, we focus on hosting monthly clinics to enhance your skills and understanding of the game. Join our WhatsApp group for all club updates!
