ARC Newsletter February 2023

Brand new Club Match against the 5-for-Fighting Team! Auto start once we hit 5 people, which can be found here: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/a-r-c/1462325

I'll try and keep 1 club match always open for people to be able to join, future matches will be posted on the home wall.

We also have a brand new Vote Chess game! https://www.chess.com/votechess/game/245403

Unfortunately, the matchup is not the fairest but we'll definitely put up a fight, haha.

Brand new forum game here (if you're into that of course): https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/keep-one-change-one-1 

I'll try to keep the social interaction fresh with a brand new one every week or two.

As for the future of the ARC, I'm very optimistic. I'm convinced it'll be an active club once again with some new life in here and major changes. Once we start nearing 800 members, I'm going to have a do-over and rehire of our staffing. I love each of my admins and everything they contributed, building the ARC from the ground up but we're nearing our 10th anniversary this year. 80% of them are now grown up and moved on, and that's a-okay, I moved away from the ARC myself for 5 years but I always had this wonderful experience of a place in the back of my mind. Now I'm completely ready to not let the ARC die but reinvent itself back into the warm loving environment it was and is for all peoples. 

I'll see you all for ARC 8.0 😎
