Horsens Skakforening is a chess club located in Horsens, Denmark. These are our web pages.
The club holds a number of tournaments throughout the year, and visitors are always welcome to join in if circumstances allow - some of these run over the span of many weeks. If you're a chess player visiting Denmark for a short stay only, please pop in for a chat and some blitz.
Of special note is Horsens Lang Weekend, an open tournament that is perfect for combining a holiday with playing chess. It is a 7 round swiss tournament held over just 4 days, Thursday to Sunday.
Note: The Horsens Lang Weekend tournament is currently on hiatus. The project is currently dead, but may be ressurected...
