PCC Hall of Fame

Honouring the people who built the game

A permanent PCC record honouring people whose leadership, service and sacrifice helped shape Polokwane Chess Club, Limpopo chess and the wider South African chess community.

Why it matters

Sustained service that shaped chess beyond one event, season or office term.

Leadership that strengthened club, district, provincial, national or regional chess structures.

Work that future players, arbiters, coaches and organisers can learn from.

Founding Legacy
