The Schachbundesliga starts its season at 8th of October 2010 with three encounters of the 7th round and at the weekend with the regular first two rounds at the venues Baden-Baden, Bremen, Wattenscheid and Aue. The Schachbundesliga also presents a novelty. All games are presented within a new designed live portal with some really nice features.

The season starts with some top games in Baden-Baden. The four teams involved in this venue present 27 grandmasters and some really interesting faces and players. The top game of the weekend takes place between Baden-Baden and Solingen on Saturday.

The runner-up Bremen welcomes at home the teams of Delmenhorst, Hamburg and Berlin. Bremen is theoretically the only serious contender of Baden-Baden and odds-on favourite at the first weekend.

At the venue Wattenscheid, a part of the city of Bochum, the home team welcomes the teams of Emsdetten, Trier and Griesheim. Here some interesting young players can be awaited. Wattenscheid is playing with the youngest German grandmaster, Sebastian Bogner, and Emsdetten will probably playing with young dutch prodigy Anish Giri.

At the venue Aue, a city from far east of Germany, the teams of Nickelhütte Aue, Bayern München, Katernberg and Mülheim will meet for their matches. Aue, who promoted in the Schachbundesliga, is one of the underdogs in the league.

As in the last season the Schachbundesliga publishes the lineups of the teams involved at the venue, where Baden-Baden is playing. The pairings of the weekend are as follows:

7th round: Friday, 8th of October 2010, 4pm*
