Chess new in the game: Glasspringer-SG Katzhütte is taking a fresh course!
The chess gaming community Viel Altes has decided to change its name. In the future they will be known as Glasspringer-SG Katzhütte/Piesau/Lauscha. This renaming is not only intended to mark a new chapter, but also to underline the group's ambitions to continue to be active in high-class sports in chess.

Many people find a community in chess clubs or tournaments in which the intellectual sport is kept alive. And not without reason: the combination of challenge and social interaction attracts players of all ages.
Technology and tradition combined
Since the 1970s, technology, particularly powerful computers, has fundamentally changed the way chess is played. This development has almost revolutionized the competition between humans and machines. The Glasspringer-SG uses such technical advances to support its members not only on site but also online.
Anyone interested in playing chess can now do so from the comfort of their own home. Platforms like schach-spiele.eu offer the opportunity to play online for free. Whether against computers, friends or random opponents - there is a suitable challenge for every level of experience.
Creativity in every move
Users can not only create new games, but also go back move by move at any time, which makes training with artificial intelligence much easier. This enables accelerated learning – a digital complement to traditional games. Chess is therefore not just a competition, but also an opportunity for entertainment and further development.
In today's world, when technologies such as AI are becoming more and more part of everyday life, it remains clear that chess is a classic game that has been given a new dimension through modern approaches. It remains to be seen how the Glasspringer-SG Katzhütte/Piesau/Lauscha will combine their heritage and the new possibilities.
