| Posted by roland_l play-online-chess.com 4/28/2005 18:35:45 Play online chess |  Subject: Starting Real Life Chess Club help Message: I've decided to start a chess club here in Mongolia. Most folks here can't afford any sort of FIDE membership or anything like that, so I'd like to offer a 'club rating' (unofficial of course, but I'm sure people will like it), organize some Swiss-style tournies, and give out some training articles and such. I'd like to find some kind of software, or websites, that would help me with the Swiss Tournies, and especially something that would help me calculate club ratings for all involved. Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Roland |
