He played for Tempo Göttingen in the early 1970s . In the four-track 1. Bundesliga Reefschläger played in the 1970s for the Hannoversche SK and SG Porz, with whom he became German team champion in 1979 . In the single-track Bundesliga he continued to play for SG Porz from 1980 to 1982, with which he again won the German team championship in 1982 and also took part in the European Club Cup in 1980/82 and 1983/84, from 1982 to 1995 for the Hamburger SK , with which he won the German team cup in 1987, and from 1995 to 1997 for the Delmenhorster chess club . Most recently Reefschläger played in the second team of the OSG Baden-Baden and worked there as a chess trainer. Before that he was active at SGEM Rochade Kuppenheim.

With the German national team he took part in the 1983 European team championship , the 1982 Mitropapokal , the 1976 Nordic Chess Cup and the 1978 EEC team championship.
