Squadron Commandos

Aloha

I would like to share with you a unique opportunity that exists among a growing core group of chess Commandos who work together in unison battling our opponents over the chess board in order to achieve as many victories as possible.

The Squadron Commandos were formed on October 9th, 2019, and over the last 5 and 1/2 years we have participated in many different leagues, including the 1WL, TMCL, KOTML, KOVCL, TCMAC, KOTML, and the Dragon League. Whilst doing so, we have obtained over 50,000 points in daily matches putting us at the ranking of #130 of all chess.com clubs.

Our win percentage is 72% in those matches and we are ranked in the top 99.9% of all clubs. We have participated in 311 vote chest matches and have acquired 184 points. We have played in 733 events to date, winning 510 of those events with an average participation of 12 players per match. We have 42 players on our club who have obtained over 100 points participating with us, and we are currently participating in 36 tournament matches.

Our average rating is 1589, and being a very small club, that gives us the benefit of a very high participation rate, and enables us to be successful in almost three out of four matches that we play. We have defeated clubs with well over a thousand players many many times.

The key to our success is active participation and a sense of camaraderie amongst the Squadron members. It is very important to us to have active players on our club and to not just have club collectors, as participation is key. Without the vast majority of our players joining the boards on a regular basis, we would not be as successful as we are.

We are seeking players who are in no more than 16 playing clubs-- if you have more than that, then it's very difficult for you to be active in our club. (That is unless you're playing over a hundred games😉). We are also seeking players who don't time out frequently, as well as those who are not even tempted to use an engine to advance their win percentage.

It is with the knowledge that I have presented above, that we have chosen you to invite to join us in our quest for success.

I would hope you would consider it an honor to be a member of our club, and to wear that honor like a badge on your chest (as all the members of the Squadron do). You will not be messaged to join a match every week, and if you join a match, without being asked, that is looked very highly upon.

If for some reason you need time out or time off, that is fine. If you become inactive for more than 2 months, you may be removed from the club but the door will be open for you to return once you're able to become active again. This is not a club where you can just get comfortable and sit on your hands, this is a very active club and we need everyone's participation in order to remain competitive.

I do wish you light, love, and joy whether or not you accept this invitation.💜🙌🏾💪🏾♟️
