MES Hyenas chess club leader, Stephen Skosana, recently drew with international grandmaster Garry Kasparov during his recent visit to Southern Africa in a simultaneous exhibition game.

The event was held in front of local and international media and features 30 local chess players who played a simultaneous match against Kasparov at the Sci-Bono Discovery Centre in Newtown last Sunday morning.

Who is MES?

MES is a registered non-profit organisation that has been serving the homeless and destitute community in the city of Johannesburg for over 25 years. Our vision is “To change the heart of the city!"
