Lichess Bundesliga

We joined the Lichess Bundesliga in April 2020. After winning the inaugural season, we achieved three consecutive season victories by 2022 and secured our fourth championship in 2023. Today, our sights are set on securing the fifth season triumph and cementing our legacy. If you're a high-level player or a newcomer seeking a supportive community with a legacy, The House awaits.

Bundesliga tournaments occur twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays, starting at 19:00 UTC. They offer a valuable opportunity to face formidable opponents and stregthen our team spirit.
