The club site lists results of its rapid tournament dated 10 October 2026 and of a blitz tournament dated 6 October 2026, a calendar entry "Chess 960 à la Tourelle" on Thursday 15 October 2026 at 19:00, and 11 teams for the 2026-2027 national interclubs. The site says weekly friendly tournaments are open to all, with no obligation to belong to a club. Home interclub matches are at the Maison de Quartier Malibran, Rue de la Digue 10, 1050 Ixelles. The club was formerly named Cercle d'échecs le Pantin and became an ASBL on 3 September 2025. The Tuesday blitz is held at the Toots Jazz Club, Rue des Chapeliers 6 (address from a jazz venue directory), and the Saturday tournament at the café Le Montmartre, Chaussée de Boondael 344 (address from a guide updated in March 2025).
