AN EXCEPTIONAL SITE

Albert-Smirlian Sports Complex

11, Avenue Renée – 92270 Bois-Colombes

With the Albert Smirlian gymnasium, rebuilt and inaugurated in 2018, the town of Bois-Colombes now has a modern structure capable of hosting large-scale sporting events. The Bois-Colombes Chess Club has a rich history of organising events, so it’s only natural that it should take over the premises and work actively to diversify the range of tournaments on offer to the chess community and boost attendance at the various events it organises. Our traditional end-of-year tournament, the Bois-Colombes Chess Master, is now well on the way to 450 participants, and is now also available in a rapid format at the start of the season.
