What is a chess club?

[soheil_hooshdaran]

The question is not as daft as it seems!

But what in your opinion, separates a chess club, opposed to just a bunch of random people meeting to play chess. Hopefully I have explained the concept clearly enough, but if for instance I was to bring a chess set with me to a local pub and randomly played a member of the public, to me that does not constitute a chess club.

Hopefully I have explained what I mean well enough in this post, so what makes up a chess club?

Many players in Iran play in parks.

You can play without having a chess club.
You cannot pay membership fee without a chess club, unless you appoint some money-collector.
You don't have the warmness of a chess club in Parks, unless you caarry with yourself blankets, heaters, etc.
You might be playing in the Park and have the hand of a stranger in your board.
And even if you wins omeone, there is no one to keep score in the park.

Hi.
How can I get myself into a chess team?

[IM Jack Rudd]

In general? Find a team you want to play for and contact one of the club officials.

I can't be more specific without some more specificity to the request.

Maybe the best way is to join a chess club.

If you wish to play in the Four Nations Chess League (4NCL) then you'd be welcome in the BCM squad of three teams.

BCM is the representative (very loosely) 4NCL squad for The British Chess Magazine.

Team Manager is Charlie Cooke ([email protected])

I have merged a couple of topics.

Bravo. Those were really related. I failed to take note of it.

If you really want help, it might help if you weren't so sarcastic.

BTW I am regularly surprised as to how the quality of your English improves and deteriorates depending on the circumstances. If I were a cynic I might suppose that you are engaged in some strange experiment as to how the chess community reacts to internet trolling.

I think that point has been made by other people other than me.

A bit harsh. I'll lend you my tin foil hat, Mike which will soften the view. In my world Soheil is MI6's man in Teheran and he and his handler communicate via coded messages in this forum!

Well, some others on the forum said my English is bad and that I should not do translation, but I don't exactly know what's wrong with my English, especially since my translations are generally praised by my clients IRL- pity that I cannot print more books.

And I was not being sarcastic (God forbids). Why would I? The topics really turned out to be actually somehow related.
