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.
