Updated on: 13th December 2022, between 2-3PM GMT Premise: This club is for chess tournaments and chess learning; not for chatting. This club is not a billboard for advertisement. Nobody likes getting a notification which is neither relevant to them nor relevant to the club, Index: Notes Forum Advertisement Incentives for becoming coordinator Punishment: Not knowing the rules does not exempt you from punishment. Punishment does not mean jail time in real life. We are here to play chess, not to establish a justice system. So if you are punished, don't whine that it was too much. Learn the rules and move on. However, you are free to suggest a better punishment system anytime. Punishment (muting and removing) will be given according to admin's wish. Banning will be applied in serious cases and repeat offenders. Message owner or a super admin if you think you are banned by a mistake. To admin team: Do not abuse your power. You do not have power here, only responsibilities. You will punish a member only for the fact that you are responsible for the well-being for other members here. Administrator-ship does not make you a lord/lady who will rule over general members. In any confusion ask for clarification from owner or an active super admin. If you have any objection about any rule here, feel free to comment on that thread or create a forum topic.

Well, if you want to improve in chess you should know the key to make good plans. My recent blog is about how to think in chess. In this blog I have discussed about the 7 ways to think in chess. https://www.chess.com/blog/samarjithbiju/top-7-ways-to-think-in-chess
Important things only Reminder of matches News for real life events, collectible chess board, tutorial etc Notes are not for queries. Read forum related rules. Ask me for permission to advertise in notes; but prior to that, read advertisement related rules. If you want to post something on notes, ask yourself if those words really constitute 'a note'. If the answer is no, then you should not post it. If you want to chat, use the chat feature, not notes. Alternatively, use this or this thread. Also, we have another club dedicated for chatting. This is a competitive club, it is not meant for social chatting. If anyone from the club management breaks these rules, it doesn't give you the right to break rules. For example, if any super admin, admin or coordinator asks in notes - 'How are you all, or hi all', you stick to the rules. You are not his slave, you have no obligation to answer that. We shall deal with him in due time.

Not knowing the rules does not exempt you from punishment. Punishment does not mean jail time in real life. We are here to play chess, not to establish a justice system. So if you are punished, don't whine that it was too much. Learn the rules and move on. However, you are free to suggest a better punishment system anytime. Punishment (muting and removing) will be given according to admin's wish, which may or may not be objective. Banning will be applied in serious cases and repeat offenders. Message owner or a super admin if you think you are banned by a mistake. One can appeal against punishment. This can be done by messaging me personally, or making a forum topic. Actions will be taken against a member of the admin team if he abuses his punishment power for own gain or negligence.

If you are selling a chess related product or event tickets, write in the forum thread dedicated for it. If you don't see one, ask a super-admin or admin to create one. No general member shall create such thread. Before advertising your club, you need to help this club win tournaments. That means participating in daily matches, vote chess and live events, and winning. Then you need to ask permission from the owner to advertise your club. Your daily tournament history can be found here, live event history can be found here, and vote chess history can be found here. Select appropriate links from these lists and present your participation history before asking for permission. Also add that history in your advertisement in forum. For channel, blogs etc, you can't just advertise the link and/or the name. See forum related rules. Advertising in the notes section is prohibited and you may get removed from the club as that action suggests that either you do not care about these rules, or you haven't even searched for the rules in the description of forum. In either case, such member is not needed here; this club is not a billboard.

Puzzle Club related feedback, discussion and/or suggestion Complaint Chess moves Occasional discussion about our solar system, astronomy, and astrology General social discussion For advertisement, read advertisement related rules. Do not create a thread to advertise your website, blog, or youtube channel nakedly. If you do have nice tips in your channel and also you want to increase viewers in your channel, create a thread, give the tips in full, and then paste the link of your channel saying if people want more tips like that they can go to your channel. But don't be a poster or leaflet boy/girl. For any social thread, such as 'story by member contribution' or random topics, As a general member, don't create too many chatting/gossiping threads in close time. Super admins and admins are free to create any social/chatting topic they deem fit for the club. People are encouraged to join here, and participate in the forum-stories there. Before creating any thread for queries, please check at least 3 pages in the forum menu if that question already exists.
