Andre Fortune is a long-standing member of the Steinitz Chess Club in Cape Town and a regular at the club’s games and league matches. Like his father Ivan, he plays with solid competence and enthusiasm — not a player chasing major tournament victories, but very much one who values the board, the community, and steady improvement over time. Though André has not, in public sources, been credited with high-profile tournament wins, he has featured in numerous club league games as part of Steinitz and regularly competes alongside peers of similar strength. His rating (as listed on club membership listings) places him near the intermediate level among the membership at Steinitz. In all his years of involvement, what stands out about Andre is his consistency: he shows up for club get-togethers, participates in matches, plays casual games with new and old members alike, and contributes to the friendly yet competitive atmosphere that helps keep the club alive. He demonstrates sportsmanship, patience, and a willingness to learn from each game, whether it ends in win, loss or draw. Outside of matches, Andre is part of the broader tapestry of Steinitz: sharing in its history, its social evenings, mentoring newer players by example, and being part of Steinitz’s identity as a club where chess is as much about community as competition.
