Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Play consistently on the online playing service for a couple of months to get a feel for the particular rules and regulations. Each online chess playing community is a little different so you need to know the subtleties before moving ahead.

  2. Step 2

    Befriend a number of different players you develop a rapport with. Like a real chess club, starting an online chess club begins with developing a strong set of social skills.

  3. Step 3

    Compete in online chess tournaments to get a feel for the often accelerated movement schedule required by competitive play. You have to make sure you have time in your daily schedule to keep up with the demands of moving within constricted time frames.

  4. Step 4

    Create an attractive or unusual name for your online competitive chess club. It may sound trite, but a great deal is said in a name.

  5. Step 5

    Develop team spirit by building and publishing an online chess club web site. This helps gives the players a group identity they can rally around.
