- As the standard of education in South Africa deteriorates, one solution considered that has brought success in various countries is chess. Numerous studies have been conducted across the globe proving that chess is the perfect intervention. Studies conducted in America, Italy, Denmark, India and other parts of the world have focused on the game of chess and its incorporation into the curriculum but rarely on the experiences of the teachers who are the key role players in incorporating this game in their teaching. A focus on the teachers helps ensure that the intervention is effective and that assistance is available to the teachers whenever they need it. This article explores the challenges that teachers encounter when incorporating chess in their classrooms. Data in this qualitative study were collected in the province of KwaZulu-Natal by observing and interviewing 14 teachers from various schools in which the Tsogo Sun Moves for Life programme has been incorporated. The findings of this study show that teachers are faced with many challenges which hinder the successful integration of chess in their teaching.
