Whatever we say about the state of the European chess it will be little. The continent has never had a more stable and clear calendar, with a ton of exciting events (from Corporate Championship to Youth events and Women dedicated events). All this under the structured organization by the European Chess Union with its two flagship events – the European Individual Chess Championship and the European Chess Club Cup.
The European Chess Club Cup 2024 takes place from 19 to 25 October in Vrnjacka Banja, Serbia. 85 teams registered for the Open section, represented by 585 players see the full list here. The European Women Chess Club Cup 2024 has 18 teams.
