Échiquier du Bocage Briouze-Flers

Échiquier du Bocage Briouze-Flers is a chess organizer in western Orne with activity centered in Briouze and Flers. The club’s official presentation says it brings together Échiquier du Houlme in Briouze and the Cercle d’Échecs de Flers. It is also officially affiliated with the French Chess Federation.

The club has a clear tournament profile. It runs events in both towns, including the Open de Flers, the open d’automne de Briouze, and the open d’été de l’Échiquier du Bocage. It also plays in official team competitions each year. The federation record shows a team in Nationale 3 and a youth team in Nationale 3 Jeunes.

The organizer also has a visible leadership structure. Pascal Le Fournier appears on the official club and federation pages as president and main public contact. At the same time, Armand Doré is listed on official club and tournament pages as an important contact for the Flers section and several event operations. That gives the club a clear split between overall leadership and tournament-side coordination.
