I want to establish a chess club. My city has already 5 chess clubs.
Any hint?

Well, first of all you need some players!

Establishing a Chess Club

Post by soheil_hooshdaran » Tue Aug 16, 2016 8:20 am

Hi.
I found a place for establishing a chess club.
It was previously a doctor's office and has only 2 rooms. Does it suffice for a chess club?

Yes. One room would be enough if it is big enough.

Or even if it isn't really :)
(Not that I'm advocating ********* venues, but the empirical reality of chess clubs is that a lot of them do have them.).

To return to my earlier point, that depends on the number of members ;)

Number of members playing games & if playing other clubs may want to allow twice as much.

A guy should have visited and approved the site by now.
It is almost 3 weeks I informed them. They are being late and not embarressed!

What if I decide to create a chess asssociation instead?

What are the pros and cons of wooden tables compared with foldable fiberglass tables for a chess club?
