Additional info:
The tournament is for absolutely all students: from complete beginners to masters. Play against students from nearly all universities in the Netherlands and surrounding countries in a group representing your own playing strength.
Depending on the number of subscriptions, we will play in 1, 2, or (most likely) 3 different groups. We do this to make sure everybody gets to play opponents of their own strength and have a good time!
New this year on top of the individual tournament: the 4-person team tournament! Subscribe with 3 student friends and duke it out for the special team prizes. (Note: contrary to the individual tournament, the team tournament is a student tournament, but not an official Dutch student championship)
Games played in this tournament do not count towards any rating.
The tournament is organized by S.C.C.E. Noesis and S.S.V.N. Tussen de Torens, the student chess clubs of Eindhoven and Nijmegen. Check out our article about last year’s edition to get an idea of the atmosphere.
IMC Trading is our greatly-appreciated head sponsor of this tournament.
