Berlin U25 Open

Together we are accepting registrations from up to 230 players for the 1st Berlin U25 Open in the A and B Open. At the moment we already have half of these registrations with 115 registrations.

Currently we have players from 10 nations: Bulgaria, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland and Ukraine. This will definitely be an international chess festival!

Among the players there are also already 24 title holders: 7 IM, 14 FM and 3 CM. The trend is clearly upward: the field of participants promises high-quality chess games.

And of course, the U25 limit applies to all participants. Only those born in 1998 or later may participate. The tournament promises to be a highlight of the young chess scene!

In connection with the registrations it should be noted that starting places in the tournament are guaranteed only if there is an online registration and a transfer of the entry fee. This is the case for all published in the list of participants.

See you in October in Berlin!

Dear tournament participants,

We are happy to announce that we are partnering with a hotel and a hostel in close proximity to the playing venue.
Please find all information on the dedicated page: https://u25chess.com/partner-accomodations/.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us via u25chess[at]koenigsjaeger[dot]de.

Dear U25 chess friends,

In mid-May we published the “1st Berlin U25 Open” and announced the call for entries. In the meantime two weeks have passed and today we have received the 50th registration!

Even more important for some chess friends is, of course, that the A-Open is already norm-capable: with players from 4 nations and 9 title holders (including 4 IM) the norm criteria for the IM norm are already fulfilled now – almost five months before the tournament starts. Next goal: GM norm capability.

Who is now wondering and does not see the data so confirmed on the website: On the registration lists of the website only fully registered players are listed. In the background we already have further registrations, but they will be made public only after receipt of the entry fee.

See you in October in Berlin!
