Breaking News: From September 29th we can play “over-the-board” in the GZ Bachwiesen under certain restrictions! Our plan is to start after a break of more than half a year with kids training and Rapid- and Blitz-tournaments – because of the special circumstances we kindly ask you to register before with our tournament director Roger Loup or just reply to this email.

We will hold our annual meeting on October 13th as well in the GZ Bachwiesen. The invitation will be sent out in the upcoming week.

SGM: Season 2019/20 ended with forfeits

The last round of the SGM season 2019/20 has been finally played on September 5th 2020.

Because of the circumstances around the Corona-Virus and to concentrate on Letzi 1 not being relegated in league 1, we forfeited the match Letzi 2 against Nimzowitsch 5. However, Zug had amongst other things problems with their venue and gave forfeit.

It was a difficult season, not only because of the Corona-restrictions. But with Letzi 2 winning the 3rd league and team 1 staying in the 1st, it was finally successful. Many thanks to all who contributed to this!

The next season will start in January 2021 – we will keep you up-to-date!
