Clubs in and around Brussels that play rated games 14

These clubs run tournaments that are sent to FIDE for rating, so a game played there moves a player's Elo. The calendar is spread across the week: the Brussels Chess Club plays a Monday open at Het Huys in Uccle through the autumn, The Belgian Chess Club runs Friday opens and a monthly rated blitz at De Rinck in Anderlecht, Excelsior plays an autumn open in Ganshoren on Sundays, the Watermael-Boitsfort club holds its Autumn Open on Thursdays, and the Cercle Royal des Échecs de Bruxelles opens the season with rapids and runs Easter and spring tournaments.

Further out, Dworp's club in Halle hosts the Memorial Debast rapid each September, De Zwarte Dame has reached the twenty-ninth edition of its open, and Wavre plays a club championship by semester. Entry conditions differ from one event to the next, and each club's page gives them.
