Latest sign of chess

The club's announcement dated 17 August 2026 says its chess branch starts the 2026-2027 season at its renewed centre in the Galatasaray Kalamış facilities, with Saturday lessons at Kalamış (face to face and online) and Sunday lessons at the Galatasaraylılar Derneği hall in Levent; the first term runs from 7 September 2026 to 24 January 2027 and the second from 8 February to 27 June 2027. An announcement of 14 January 2026 shows the second term of the 2025-2026 season running, and the branch opened the Kalamış centre with a ceremony on 9 September 2025. No page read prints a street address or names the district of either hall, so the municipality is the city as a whole.
