So we went! Well, when we first got there, there was only one guy. It was the guy who ended up running the rated games later. I asked if we were early, he mumbled something about "No", and went on to read his paper, never saying another word to me.

After a while, some other chess players showed up, but obviously they were all in a clique, and every single one of them went into a different section of the room, leaving the three of us stranded. Not even like other chess clubs, where everyone is in the same room and tends to help force interaction, this one was divided up so that they could go into a different section completely away from us. I wonder if it would have helped if we had sat in "their section", or if they would have done it anyway :)

*sigh* Anyway, I didn't really expect the players themselves to be all that social, but I did expect somebody in charge of the club to be more welcoming. It turns out that it appears to be just a run-of-the-mill club that isn't really led or organized, people just show up to play.

I think the draw is the 90/G rated game and that's pretty much it. I had high hopes!

This means we will open the door at 6:00 PM (or as close to that as possible).

Also, our Game 90 will start ONE HALF HOUR EARLIER, at SEVEN PM, rather than 7:30 PM as in the past.

This means each player will have an hour and a half on their time clock and a total of 3 hours to play the game. The club used to have the "Game 90" time control, but decided to try a shorter game to attract younger players still in school.

This will allow players to have a stronger game. We hope it is is more conducive to strong chess.]]>yaxisxhttp://yaxisx.forumco.com/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=40&REPLY_ID=6610Mon, 11 Jun 2007 04:11:53 +0100yaxisxhttp://yaxisx.forumco.com/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=58&REPLY_ID=4910Fri, 23 Mar 2007 06:21:31 +0100yaxisxhttp://yaxisx.forumco.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4210Wed, 13 Sep 2006 20:26:35 +0100
