Silesian Chess Congress

Silesian Chess Congress

The first Silesian Chess Congress was held in 1923. When the German Chess Federation ("Deutsche Schachbund") started in 1877, there were not many regional chess federations. On 19 September 1877 the Breslau Chess Association ("Breslauer Schachverein") was founded by amongst others Theodor von Scheve. In 1895 Görlitz and 1899 Liegnitz were meetings of mainly Silesian clubs. At the end of 1908 the Breslau clubs "Anderssen" and "Morphy" decided to found the East German Chess Federation ("Ostdeutsche Schachverband").

After the World War I Germany had to cede a part of the "Ostprovinzen", mainly Posen (Poznań). In 1922 the new Silesian Chess Federation ("Schlesischer Schachverband") was founded and held a great number of congresses till 1939. Members of this federation ("Oberschlesischer Schachverband, Groß-Breslau Schachverband") and of the German Chess Federation in Czechoslovakia ("Deutsche Schachverband in der Tschechoslowakei") played in each other’s championships.
