Latest trace

The club site publishes an "Open FIDE de l'Automne en 5 rondes" with round dates from 13 September to 25 October 2026 (second round 20 September 2026), and lists the club among the 2026-2027 national interclub teams. The chess school ran on Wednesdays from 3 September 2025 to 24 June 2026. For the 2025-2026 season the club's registration page gave a yearly fee of 80 EUR for adults and 50 EUR for ages 8 to 18, with the club tournaments included, and its chess school took beginners and experienced players. The FIDE list also carries "David vs Goliath 2026", dated 23 May 2026 in Ganshoren; its FIDE record names as chief organiser the person whom the federation register lists as tournament director of this club, and no page says who hosted it.
