Chess in Gelsenkirchen 3
About this list
In Gelsenkirchen the Königsspringer, the chess department of SC Buer-Hassel 1919, meets in Buer on Friday evenings, with youth training beforehand, and its page says visitors can simply come by. Schachverein Horst-Emscher 1931 plays in Horst, and Schachfreunde Fliegenpils are the third club here; both are dated in this guide by their league matches in the Ruhr federation.
The city also has a grammar school with a school chess working group, which has played in the state final of school chess; it is listed among the youth and school entries, since it is open only to the school's pupils. Gladbeck and Bottrop, next door to the north and west, add clubs of their own in the same Emscher-Lippe league district.
