The Königsspringer Hamburg Chess Club from 1984 e. V. (KSH) is a chess club in Hamburg .

Club portrait

In the middle of 1984 some people decided to leave the chess division of the Niendorfer TSV and to found a pure chess club. Membership grew quickly. With 140 members (as of August 2019), the KSH is one of the larger chess clubs in Hamburg. The membership structure ranges from primary school pupils to senior citizens and from beginners with a DWZ of 800 to international master Frank Lamprecht with 2400 DWZ. Eight adult teams and six youth teams take part in the game. The club is known for its youth work and regularly provides, in addition to many participants, most of the supervisors at the Hamburg Individual Youth Championships (HJEM). The association's youth work was awarded the green ribbon in 1995 for exemplary talent promotion. The KSH has its own club house.

Teams

Adults

The club started in 1985 at the Hamburg team championships with four teams. The first team began in a season of the then A-Class (now: District League), which they won immediately. The promotion to the city league was followed two years later by promotion to the state league, the highest division in Hamburg. In 1992 - the number of teams had risen to seven - the club became Hamburg team champions for the first time and rose to the top division.

In 1997 the still young club was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga. With the further promotion of the second and third teams to the state and city leagues, the KSH could for the first time be regarded as Hamburg's number 2 in chess. In the 1998/99 season the club started for the first and so far only time with nine teams. The greatest success in 2001 was promotion to the 1st Bundesliga. In the following year, the club had teams in the 1st Bundesliga, regional league, city league (2), district league (2), district league and district class.

The first team, however, relegated back to the 2nd Bundesliga after only one season; As a pure amateur club, it had no chance in the 1st Bundesliga. After that, the club's first team commuted as an elevator team between the 2nd Bundesliga and the Oberliga, to which it currently belongs. Other teams play at the local level in all divisions. The club's second team won the regional league in 2005, 2013 and 2015, making them Hamburg team champions.

youth

After just one year, the first youth team qualified in 1985 for the highest German league, the youth league north (since the 1993/94 season: youth league north). After more than 30 years of membership, the team was relegated in the 2016/2017 season after defeats in all matches. In 1994 and most recently in 2011 the relay consisting of ten teams was won. With a total of ten participations in the German U20 Youth Team Championship, third places in 1995 and 2001 were the best results. In the younger age groups, too, many youth teams have qualified for participation in North Germans and subsequently for the German youth team championships.
