Cercle d’ Échecs de Strasbourg

Cercle d’ Échecs de Strasbourg is a historic chess organizer in Strasbourg and one of the most established clubs in French chess. The club traces its roots to 1887, while the association itself was formally registered in 1952. Over time, it has built a strong reputation through elite team competition, youth development, school chess activity, and the long-running Strasbourg summer open.

The club also has deep competitive credentials. Its official history highlights multiple French team titles, major national cup success, and a long tradition of hosting strong events in Strasbourg. Today, it remains highly active across adult, youth, and women’s competition, and the French federation lists it among the country’s large and well-structured clubs. Its public club profile shows more than 600 licensed members, which underlines its scale and its continuing importance in the regional and national chess scene.

For this event, the primary organizer is the club itself, while Daniel Roos appears as the key operational figure behind tournament delivery and organizer-facing communication. He is listed publicly as president, contact, and publication director, and official tournament pages repeatedly name him as the main contact for the Strasbourg summer festival. That makes the club the correct organizer entity, with Daniel Roos as the strongest named contact person for this profile.
