On Sunday, May 24, 2026, Royal Namur Échecs invites you to an exceptional day combining sport, strategy and camaraderie!
Open to all (affiliated or not). The concept is simple: the chessboards are set up on the centre line of the basketball court. After each move, you must sprint to the baseline and back before playing your next move! (full rules on the International ChessRun Federation website)
| 12:45 | End of check-in |
| 13:00 – 16:00 | Rounds 1 to 5 |
| 16:20 | Semi-finals and classification matches |
| 17:00 | Grand Final |
In parallel, we are hosting the official clubs day to strengthen ties between officials and players.
A friendly tournament where each team of two must include at least one club committee member or an OA (FEFB/FRBE). Maximum team average: 2100 Elo.
Prize fund (paid to clubs):
🥇 1st: €300 | 🥈 2nd: €200 | 🥉 3rd: €150
🎁 Bonus: A €200 prize will be drawn at random among all participating teams!
From the end of the blitz (around 3:30 PM), enjoy a friendly space for discussion. This is the ideal time to ask your questions to the federation officials and share your ideas for the future of chess in Belgium.
