A few of them may need/want ECF membership for other reasons - e.g. because they're an arbiter or a coach.Kevin Thurlow wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 11:39 am"Well, within certain definitions of "don't play"."
Well, don't play graded games then. The 1000 may join the other 599,999,000 casual players... Or maybe, they want to support English chess financially.

Re: ECF Supporter
Whether there are people out there willing to contribute financially without any need to become members does seem a key question.
It might be easier to get donations to the chess trust than memberships, but maybe this has already been investigated.

I was thinking that some ECF members may in any given season play a number of graded games, but none of them ECF-graded.
