The Club has been the leader in chess activity in the Cape Town inner city and surrounding areas for the 131 years of its existence. The Club hosted the Cape Town Heritage Chess Festival during March 2017 to celebrate: The longevity of the Club and its prominence in South African chess. 25 years since chess was unified in South Africa and South Africa readmitted to the World Chess Federation. To celebrate that the Club then played the first friendly match to signal unity against Bellville South Chess Club. To celebrate that two Club members were among the joint winners of the historic Unity Tournament held at the time. To commemorate the life and service of our immediate Past President of 20 years, the late Elan Rabinowitz. To pay tribute to our Lifetime Honorary Member, Leonard Reitstein, as he approaches his 90th birthday. Seniors Rapid participants Front row – Istvan Gyongy, Benny Levin and Grahame Pearson all representing Cape Town Chess Club Back row – Andrew Southey, Mark Lewis and Stephen Galleid 3 FOREWORD South Africa and Cape Town both have a rich chess heritage. Sometimes it is important to celebrate and commemorate that heritage. Most local tournaments will be forgotten in time, but I suspect the Cape Town Heritage Chess Festival 2017 will be remembered as one of those most important occasions in South African and Cape Town chess history. The Festival also affords us the opportunity to reflect on the past and commemorate that past before it is too late. This commemorative booklet hopefully captures some of that history – particularly around the unity process of the early 1990s that resulted in the formation of Chessa and South Africa’s re- admittance to international chess. There might well be many differing recollections of this history. It is not my place to comment on or amend the various authors’ recollections. Rather I have tried to include a few different perspectives (whether politically correct or otherwise) so that readers themselves can form their own views on what actually transpired. There is inevitably a Cape Town bias in a production such as this, and hopefully this booklet will motivate other regions, cities and clubs to record their own histories which are all part of South Africa’s chess heritage. Cape Town Chess Club last hosted a major chess festival in 1985 when we celebrated our Club’s centenary. As far as I am aware, only two of the original brochures produced for that festival still exist. In order to preserve that important part of the Club’s heritage, we include as annexures within this 2017 commemorative booklet both that 1985 Centenary Brochure as well a crossword puzzle that was especially composed to celebrate that milestone. Our sincere gratitude to the Western Cape Government’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport, and Dr Lyndon Bouah in particular, without whom this Festival would not have taken place. I hope readers enjoy this commemorative booklet and it inspires future generations to serve South African chess well.

Elan Rabinowitz 1957-2015 Neither of my parents played chess at all but my 2 older brothers played very much on a casual/social level. When I was approximately 10 years old, my oldest brother decided he wanted some variation in his opponents and taught me the moves. I learnt the moves fairly quickly but none of us took it particularly seriously. We played on a fairly basic level but quite enjoyed the game. I continued to play on this basis until 1972 when I was 15 years old and in Standard 8 (Grade 10). This was the year that the eccentric and reclusive Bobby Fischer caught the imagination of the entire chess world. It was the days of the cold war when Russia totally dominated world chess. The top 8 out of 10 players in the world were Russian and they completely dominated before Fischer, completely on his own and with virtually no meaningful assistance from anyone, rose to become probably the greatest chess player who ever lived at the time. He was challenging Russian world champion Boris Spassky for the world championship and amazingly was the favourite to win the world title. The dynamics of the situation caught the imagination of the chess world. Fischer was determined to make chess a highly respected sport and used all sorts of tactics to do so. At the time, he not only caught the imagination of top chess players worldwide but also hundreds of thousands of young players who took to the game. Even the Russians respected him greatly. I was one of them and soon devoted more time to studying chess than I did to my schoolwork. My chess improved from a fairly poor social player to a rated player playing at top schools level as well as joining the Cape Town Chess Club through the encouragement of the then Chairman of the club, Simmy Lewis (who incidentally passed away a few weeks ago). The game soon became an obsession for me and many of my contemporaries. I featured fairly well at school level as well as senior level. My playing career was not remarkable but I did win the Cape Town Chess Club Championship, Inter- schools League (twice) and came second in the WP Open Junior Championships. Chess really enriched my life at a young age and taught me many things including the value of sustained concentration, how to win and lose graciously, and how to work in a team environment. The Cape Town Chess Club was the only club in the vicinity of my home and met twice a week at that stage. I went to the club at least one of the evenings every week and sometime two. 7 In 1973 to 1974, I captained the Herzlia High School team which won the Western Province’s school league both of these years. In about 1977 I came to the realization that despite Bobby Fischer’s efforts, chess was not going to be a great way to earn a living and I gave the game up and concentrated on my studies for about 8 years until about 1985.

  • CORRUPTION the MEDIA SACOS Operates in Such a Climate in South
    Ramsamy had, however, delivered the goods and had assured his position as Chairman of NOCSA until the next Olympic Games and perhaps until 2004, should South Africa be granted the Games for that year. He had also duly rewarded some of those who like him had betrayed the non-racial cause. One wonders if he did not at times have nightmares or was not haunted by what he wrote in “Apartheid - The Real Hurdle” “Black school children - the raw material from which future black sportsmen and women are made - are forced to accept inferior and unequal facilities. It is in reality impossible to conceive o f a completely non-racial sports system in a country which in these much more fundamental respects treats more than 80 percent of the population differently on the grounds o f race and colour. Merit selection emanating out o f such a system has little or no meaning as it will tend to prove how mediocre the performance o f black sportspeople are - the very theory that the white racist regime is propagating internationally. ” The final communique issued by the ANOCA Conference in Harare on 3/4 November 1990 stipulated that “once apartheid has been totally abolished” unity should be formed by the organisations controlling sport and the readmission of South Africa to membership of international sports organisations may be considered. One wonders whether Ramsamy has suffered a Craven-type loss of memory or has suddenly developed blind spots in that faculty. CORRUPTION Where money is, there is corruption, from the seller of fancy goods to the multi-millionaire.

  • Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) Is the National Government Department Responsible for Sport in South Africa
    Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) is the national government department responsible for sport in South Africa. Aligned with its vision of creating An Active and Winning Nation, its primary focuses are providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; managing the regulatory framework thereof and providing funding for different codes of sport. The department transforms the delivery of sport and recreation by ensuring equitable access, development and excellence at all levels of participation, thereby improving social cohesion, nation-building and the quality of life of all South Africans. The SRSA is established in terms of the Public Service Act of 1994. Its legal mandate is derived from the National Sport and Recreation Amendment Act, 2007 (Act 18 of 2007), which requires it to oversee the development and management of sport and recreation in South Africa. The Act provides the framework for relationships between the department and its external clients. This includes the SRSA’s partnership with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC). The partnership is key to improving South Africa’s international ranking in selected sports. The Act also ensures that sport and physical education contribute to social cohesion by legislating on sports participation and sports infrastructure. Aligned with the SRSA’s vision of an active and winning nation, the department primarily focuses on providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; manages the regulatory framework; and provides funding for different sporting codes. The SRSA aims to maximise access, development and excellence at all levels of participation in sport and recreation to improve the quality of life for all South Africans.

The newly combined entity, now named the United States of America Chess Federation (and currently known as US Chess), primarily promoted tournament play throughout the country. More importantly, the U.S. Chess Championship, the U.S. Open, and the U.S. Olympiad team now fell under a single organizational roof and served about 1,000 members. There have been many important milestones since 1939 as US Chess grew and evolved. Bobby Fischer’s quest for the World Championship in the 1960s and 1970s, the growth of scholastic chess, the broadening of the US Chess mission beyond the organization’s singular focus of rated play, and most recently, Fabiano Caruana’s challenge to Magnus Carlsen for the World Championship. Along the way, US Chess has learned much about itself and what a powerful tool chess is. As we Second, we accept chess as a tool for the social and now look towards the century mark and approach emotional development of young people. Chess is 100,000 members, we embrace our heritage while a game where sportsmanship is core to the game’s looking for new ways to excel. As a 501(c)(3) culture.
