history
The club was founded in 1930 as the Baden-Oos chess club by 15 chess friends in the Baden-Oos inn "Goldener Stern". In the 1998/1999 season, the club played in the Landesliga Mittelbaden, which corresponded to the fifth German division. After that, Wolfgang Grenke, the CEO of Grenkeleasing AG , began sponsoring the club and thus enabled its steady athletic advancement. Under the leadership of Jürgen Gersinska, the club was founded in December 2004 in Ooser Schachclub von 1930 Baden-Baden e. V. (short: OSC Baden-Baden) renamed. After a conflict with the sponsor about the budget for the women's team, Jürgen Gersinska resigned in 2005; he was succeeded by Helmut Zanner in the office of first chairman. On June 20, 2008, the general assembly decided to join forces with the Schachgesellschaft Baden-Baden 1922 e. V. to merge and the club name in "Ooser Schachgesellschaft (OSG) Baden-Baden 1922 e. V. ”to change.
