Chess & Mates is a Belgian organisation, dedicated to the sport of chess. It was born from a deep, shared passion for chess among a group of friends who spent their youth competing against each other in tournaments.
Recognizing the profound impact chess had on their lives, they decided to create an organization that would allow others to experience the same joy, friendship and intellectual growth.
Chess & Mates envisions a world where chess is a widely appreciated and accessible game that contributes to personal growth and community building. We strive to be a leading force in promoting chess in Belgium, ensuring that it becomes a dynamic and integral part of our cultural and educational landscape.
