What the status rests on

The club's site announces a rapid tournament on Sunday 13 September 2026 (10 min + 5 s, seven rounds, valid for FIDE rapid rating, 15 EUR entry, at most 28 players) and reports the first Friday club evening of the new season; the club is also on the Madrid chess federation's venue list for 2026/2027. That list gives the entrance as next to number 474, down the stairs.
