Hilversums Schaakgenootschap (HSG) is a historic Dutch chess club based in Hilversum, Netherlands. Founded in 1887, HSG supports players from beginners to strong tournament competitors. Today, the club runs weekly club nights, internal leagues, and team matches. As a result, HSG remains a reliable home for over-the-board chess in Hilversum.
Moreover, HSG’s volunteer organizers deliver open tournaments and local events throughout the year. Its flagship weekend tournament, HSG Open 2026, brings a large field to Hilversum for six Swiss rounds. In addition, the event combines FIDE-rated sections with KNSB-rated groups, depending on category. Therefore, players get clear group guidance, consistent pairings, and professional playing conditions.
Beyond that, the club invests in youth development through coaching, training nights, and junior competitions. Meanwhile, HSG promotes transparent rules and respectful conduct at every event it supports. Consequently, visitors can expect a friendly tournament atmosphere alongside serious, fair competition.
