a random idea
Posted: Sun Apr 04, 2010 8:20 pm
Hi all, just come up with this idea which I think would be good for clubs (and add a bit of competition) but nothing too serious
In my chess club (I assumr like most others) we always enjoy analyzing our matches (but when you get to a really intresting possotion in a match people don't always play the best due to time, safety, e,t,c,) but this does make for good analysis. We have a member who quite often brings in puzzles (like mate in 3) which go down well at the club but personally I don't like these as it's always a stupid move that u would never play. Also very rarely if a strong member of the club see's a top level game in a sharp line he (no women at our club) plays with a sharp novility we may analyize that (but this happens rare as we don't really follow top rated games and mainly play for fun.)
Is this the same in most clubs? if it is what do you think about this?
My proposal is every club 'uk chees club' that wants to take part opens a chess.com (or other site) account under a fake name and only use it to play only in this scheme, the scheme is we set up correspondence games, club v club where we can discuss the moves with our club members and if we get enough clubs on board we could have divisions with promotion and relegation, prob 3-5 days der move, prob only playing about 3 games at once.
What do people think about this as an idea?
