About this list

This list gathers every place in Jabodetabek where a game over a real board can be found, grouped by kind. Clubs and their basecamps make up the largest part. Then come the malls whose atriums and food courts host tournaments by many organisers, the coffee shops that hold rounds, and the tournament series that come back each year under the same name.

The busiest mall venues are Tamini Square in Makasar, East Jakarta, Summarecon Digital Centre in Gading Serpong, and Revo Mall and Metropolitan Mall in Bekasi; ITC Cempaka Mas, Mall Food Centrum in Sunter and Lippo Mall Cikarang host events too, and the KCCCI group plays its round robins at Mall Kalibata City. Among the coffee shops, Kopi In Town on the fourth floor of Pasar Pagi Mangga Dua stands out, with a FIDE-rated international tournament in its history. Organisers such as Speed Management and Komunicasi move from venue to venue.
