More about this list

Where does a chess player in Ostwestfalen-Lippe find a club? Almost every town between the Weser and the Ems has one, either a chess club of its own or the chess department of a sports club such as TuS Brake in Bielefeld, TV Verl or Spvg. Versmold. Nearly all of them field teams in the leagues of the Schachverband Ostwestfalen-Lippe, which is why a club without a website of its own can still be dated by its latest league match.

Most clubs meet once a week in the evening, often with a youth hour just before: Brackwede in a parish hall, Lage beside the Marktkirche, Horn in the Burgscheune, Enger in the old Kleinbahnhof and Porta Westfalica in the village community house of Lerbeck. Where a page says guests are welcome or the evening is open to everyone, the tile shows it; elsewhere a short message to the club before a first visit is the sure way.
