LauttSSK club evenings in January–June 2026

Changes to LauttSSK club evenings at Lauttasaari church in January 2026:

  • Held only twice a month.
  • Free entry.
  • One classical training game every 2 months.

The dates are listed in the Nimenhuuto monthly calendar:

NameTime controlWhen
Blitz3'+02"1st Wednesday of each month
Rapid10'+05"3rd Wednesday of odd-numbered months
Classical60'+10"3rd Wednesday of even-numbered months

With the changes, we hope that more people would attend club evenings:

  • One has to plan when to come to play (e.g., at Nimenhuuto).
  • Entry fee ("ovimaksu") seemed to be an issue for some people, so we stop collecting it.
  • The bi-monthly classical training game is inspired by classical Tuesdays at Shakkiareena ("pitkän pelin tiistai"), but our games are not rated.

Playing only twice a month is a big change as the club has been playing at the church weekly since mid-1970s. In May 2026, the club board will assess how the changes have worked, and decide how to continue after June.

Note that one can still play chess in Lauttasaari every week as we continue organizing casual chess sessions at Lauttasaari library on Mondays at 17–20 (next time on January 12, 2026). The sessions were originally for beginners, but nowadays many club players attend them, too.

Please

  • add the days in your calendar, and
  • give feedback of the changes at club evenings, or to board members!
