Thanks to the hard work of the US Chess Clubs Committee and Executive Board liaison Ryan Velez, US Chess is pleased to announce the updated Guide to a Successful Chess Club. It can be downloaded by clicking on this link. It gives needed insight and a framework for anyone to start a chess club from scratch

Says Abel Talamantez, Chair of the US Chess Clubs Committee: "The goal of this guide is to give resources to those wanting to start a chess club, be it a USCF affiliate or a local community chess club. We strongly believe in the power of chess clubs to help bring communities together, and with your help, give resources and guidance to those wanting help in doing that."

The US Chess Clubs Committee would be happy to help mentor anyone looking to start a club. For more information, contact US Chess directly at uschess.org.
