do you have to be in a club to play? or accepting anyone?
ReplyDeleteSince no one has answered vlo's question, let
ReplyDeleteme try. No, one does *not* have to be
a member of any chess club to play.
You do have to be a member of the USCF to
play rated games. You can join either on
line at uscf.org or at the tournament
through the tournament director. I urge
you to come as you'll discover the vitality
of chess in WNY and meet a lot of really
nice people willing to help in your chess
pursuits. That's how I started and I was
then able to join a variety of chess clubs
to play more casual games. It's helped me
tremendously and allowed me to make
make new friends as well.
Hope to see you there.
