Information about the current situation
Dear Chess Friends,
I don’t have to write a lot about the current situation around the Corona-virus.
Chess at Letzi and in Switzland has been more or less closed down. The last round of the SGM and the first of the SMM season have been postponed by the SSB; the start of the Zurich Stadtmeisterschaft is as well cancelled.
Currently, it is not allowed to visit the Pflegezentrum Bachwiesen to play chess; however, we are in discussion to find another venue or maybe even to start internal online tournaments.
We are in close touch with the federations and will inform you as soon as there are news!
Please check out the following links for further information (mainly in German):

All the best and stay healthy!
