Hi! I'm going to be in Copenhagen for 11 months doing astronomy research. I'm wondering whether Copenhagen or Denmark has a good club chess scene? Would love to play in tournaments while I'm there happy.png

Hi! Lots of opportunities - you just need to get rid of the corona virus restrictions! Or to put it a little different - time will show, but maybe!

The chess-scene in Copenhagen was flourishing before Corona.

There are several good clubs (Øbro, Nørrebro, Valby, Brønshøj, Amager etc.) and you can also play chess more casually at Absalon Chess and Backgammon night - Folkehuset Absalon (absaloncph.dk)

Welcome to Copenhagen!

There is a relatively large group of us that plays outside in a park in Frederiksberg every Tuesday during the summer months from 19.00 - 20.30.  Drop by any week and say hi and play some games!  The park is called: Axel Møllers Have. https://skakforsjov.dk/udendoers/
