47th Ghent Open International Chess Tournament

Koninklijke Gentse Schaakkring Ruy Lopez

The Ghent Open 2026 will once again take place at Sint-Barbaracollege in Ghent.

In 2024, the church was available as a chess venue for the first time. The many positive responses we received in 2024 and 2025 show that this was a successful initiative.

The church will also be available for this tournament.
