Tilburg chess tournament

The Tilburg chess tournament was a series of chess tournaments held in Tilburg, Netherlands. It was established in 1977 and ran continuously through 1994 under the sponsorship of Interpolis, an insurance company. Fontys Hogescholen shortly revived the tournament series from 1996 to 1998, when the last edition was played. Since 1994, there is another annual chess tournament taking place in Tilburg, which has the name De Stukkenjagers. The field is generally much weaker than the traditional Tilburg tournament.
