The FIDE list of rated tournaments for September 2026 carries "4th Europchess Afterwork Blitz 09-2026", dated 1 September 2026. The club site lists club evenings on Tuesdays and a lunchtime blitz on Wednesdays, with dated programme entries for 20 and 27 October 2026. The club says it welcomes players linked to the European Union project; the register places it at the Foyer CEE of the European Commission building, Rue Van Maerlant 2. A March 2025 guide calls it a club reserved for the staff of the European Union, while the club's own site says it welcomes players of all levels linked to the European Union project. The guide prints the street number as 22, the federation register as 2. The register also lists different hours (Wednesday 13:00-15:00 and Thursday 18:00-21:00) from the club site.
