  • Rapid & Blitz Tournament 2020

    Due to COVID-19, the Rapid & Blitz Tournament 2020 cannot take place under normal circumstances.

    Consequently, Belgian Military Chess Club vzw decided during its General Assembly of November 11th 2020 to replace this event by two additional online chess activities within the Team IMCC at Lichess.

    Everyone is welcome this time too. The only requirement is to be a member of the IMCC Team at Lichess.

    Belgian Military Chess Club vzw tries to extend the line of the normal tournament to the online tournament as much as possible and therefore opts for a Swiss Tournament at Lichess for the first time.
    Since it is suspected that not everyone is inclined to play chess online for a long time, the online version of this event will be spread over two days.
