Please read this section first before interacting in the Club. It contains all the information about the Club, how it works, our rules, etc.

* Please note that this section is incomplete, as the Club is new. We are busy compiling the rest, so we kindly ask that you exercise your judgement before doing something. Thank you.

CLUB RULES

General:
1. The club reserves the right to remove, disable, suspend or ban any member, without notice or reason.
2. All members agree to abide by the Club's rules. If you do not accept our rules, please leave the club by unjoining.
3. Club rules may change from time to time, without notice. It is the responsibility of members to refer to the rules and ensure they are aware of them.
Nation Support Theme:
1. Our Club is based on the countries we love. At the very least, Members are expected to respect these nations and not dislike them or behave in a manner that shows they disrespect these countries.
2. Any Member found to act against our Principles, will be banned immediately.
3. If you've joined, but feel that you dislike one of these nations, please leave the Club, as this is an important aspect for our Members.
4. If you love one nation, but feel neutral about the others, that's perfectly fine. As long as you do not hate any of our countries, certainly not showing you do, there is no problem.
5. We may introduce other countries to our Club at a later stage, although this is not assured.
Prizes:
1. Any event prizes awarded by the club, are done so with each member accepting that the Club has the final say on who the winners are, when a dispute arises or any other reason.
2. Payments are made in accordance to the Club's rules and process. You cannot demand to be paid in a different currency as an example, or via a different method.
3. We may be able to exchange your prize with payment towards your subscription on Chess.com, if we so choose or if you are unable to receive the prize in your country for some reason.
4. Prizes are not transferable. Only the winner is eligible to receive the prize.
5. A winner that has been given a prize, which is later found to have cheated, no later than 6 months after winning, must return the prize to the Club.
6. Winners that do not claim their prize within 30 days of winning said prize, forfeit their prize and may not claim it at a later stage.
7. The Club usually pays the prize money to the winners within 7 days. However, the club may take up to 30 days to issue prizes, if the need arises.
Events:
1. Events are organised at the Club's discretion.
2. Winners are deemed final by the management of the Club.
3. Players may lose on Time (in Daily format) once per 12 month period. Thereafter, the member is likely to get banned, unless management accepts a very good reason why the member didn't play their games. Losing games by simply ignoring them is highly destructive for the team as we don't even get a chance to beat the opponents.
4. Members should never cheat to win games.
Forum:
1. Any member found to have disclosed any content from the forum, will be banned from the club immediately.
2. While the forum's privacy was created to allow free discussion, please be careful not to go overboard. Use your judgement
3. Any member is free to create new Posts, to reply to any posts and to participate fully within the Forum.
Banning:
1. 1. The club reserves the right to remove, disable, suspend or ban any member, without notice or reason. If a new account is then created, that account shall be banned too. Reasons why a member may get a warning, suspended or banned are, but not limited to;
  2. Infringing on the Club's rules.
  3. Any act against our Nations Theme Principles.
  4. Cheating, whether to win prizes or otherwise. This includes deliberate manipulation of your location or accounts in order to win or gain higher odds.
  5. Losing more than once per 6 months on Time in Daily matches. Each 6 months, you earn one allowance. So if you join and lose a month later, you will be banned.
  6. Attacking other members in the Club or unwanted behaviour.
  7. Acting in bad faith against the Club.
  8. Disclosing private information within the Club's private areas which is only visible to members (currently it's only the Forum). Or, disseminating harmful, misleading or negative information about the Club.
  9. Ignoring requests or warnings from Management.

CLUB Information / T&Cs / Membership Eligibility - General info:

1. All residents of these countries who location flag shows this, have no exclusions and may join. Other players may join, as long as they support our countries & don't act or hold negative beliefs about them. We do plan to eventually limit membership to players who reside in those countries or have a flag of a country as their profile image.
2. Cash prizes will range from $50 to $1000 per winner, which may increase after a few matches.
3. Anyone caught cheating will be banned for life. Final determination is made by the superadmins board.
4. Club T&Cs may change from time to time without notice. For full T&Cs, check the club pages.
The club may its discretion reject any application to join or to remove any member without notice.
5. Please note the club is new (hence in Beta mode) and is still being prepared, although it is fully functional.
6. Our goals are to create one of the largest clubs, to help facilitate Chess learning among our countries primarily, help from bored teenagers to the elderly, & everyone in between. We believe the world is moving in the wrong direction where basic common sense seems rare. We hope this will inject some logic & critical thinking, improve users' IQ & perhaps even help discover the next Kasparov! To reach our objectives, funding has been secured to grow the club at a rapid pace.
7. Any member who wishes to be involved, either as a coordinator, admin or even superadmin, should message us to apply. We do ask for commitments in time, every week to help build the club.
8. As we become more popular, our board may decide to include further countries to the club, although that is not assured.

The entire forum is only visible to our club members.

We've set it up this way so discussion can be held privately without non-members seeing our chats. This forum is the ONLY area in the club that is private.
