About Pegasus

We are the nicest chess club in Amstelveen and the surrounding area for chess players from 18 to 94 years old. Every playing strength is welcome with us. We always play with pleasure and respect. The social atmosphere within the club is strong and good and everyone is welcome. Although chess is the main course in the association, this activity goes hand in hand with maintaining good social contacts with each other. Afterwards, a beer is enjoyed or a game is watched again.

 A number of teams participate in the annual competition of the SGA (Great Amsterdam Chess Federation). In addition, an internal competition is played almost every Tuesday. The division is based on (internal) rating, which means that you play against an equal opponent.

The club evenings are on Tuesday evenings (starting at 7.45 p.m.) and the La Plaza room in the Groenelaan residential care center, located at De Helpende Hand 9, Amstelveen (diagonally opposite the hospital), is used as the club room. The (internal) competition season runs from September to May; In the summer months they play chess informally.

We organize various activities throughout the year.
