Eppingen chess club
The Schachclub Eppingen eV is a chess club from the town of Eppingen in Baden-Württemberg .
The association was founded in October 1954. In the 1978/79 season Eppingen played for the first time in the top German league, in the then four-part chess Bundesliga , after they had been promoted to the Southwest season together with SV Hofheim . While Hofheim was able to keep the class, Eppingen rose from bottom of the table without a team win. The Bundesliga chess league has been single-track since 1980. Another promotion succeeded in the 1996/97 season . Eppingen was also relegated from bottom of the table, but at least won against PSV Wuppertal . The Eppinger team at that time included the Grand Master Zoltán Gyimesi , the International Masters Alexander Kabatianski , Christian Mann and Ivo Donev as well as the later IM Lothar Arnold . After the renewed promotion for the 2004/05 season , Eppingen was first class for eleven years without interruption. On March 17, 2015, SC Eppingen announced that it would withdraw the team from the 1st Bundesliga at the end of the 2014/15 season .
The venue for the first division fights is the Eppinger Hardwaldhalle, which was formerly called the Neue Großsporthalle. 1. Chairman is Rudolf Eyer.
In the 2018/19 season, five grandmasters are registered as active at the Eppingen chess club (order according to DWZ as of December 22, 2018, spelling of names of the German Chess Federation ): Peter Acs , Zoltan Medvegy , Namig Guliyev , Robert Ruck and Lothar Vogt .
