schachbundesligaAt 25th and 26th of February 2012 the 10th and 11th round of the Schachbundesliga will take place. Take a look at the pairings at the venues Wattenscheid, Hockenheim, Trier and Remagen.

In Wattenscheid the host awaits Dortmund, Mülheim and Katernberg for the four matches of the weekend. All teams are situated in the Ruhr area of Germany, so many spectators are expected to visit the games.

Hockenheim, one of the promoted teams in the Schachbundesliga, organizes his second playing weekend of the season. The matches against Hamburg and Berlin surely will be hard-fought.
