The specific alternative openings that will be investigated are outlined in the alternative openings forum. Any suggestions for additional openings to consider should be posted there. Professor Filius Flitwick, Ph.D.
We have recently formed a number of partnerships with clubs throughout the world 🌎. As we form these relationships I intend on making them clear to our members and partners. May we all enjoy our chess games  Onwards through the storm 🏰⚡️🌪️
In order to broaden the range of unorthodox openings and competition that Alternative Openings Chess Club will face, I have decided to challenge a large number of regional chess clubs to vote chess games and team matches. . Here is a tentative list of the opponents that I and my admins intend to challenge over the next several months. This is a challenging task and I need your assistance. This includes inviting members, creating vote chess games and team matches, as well as making suggestions for other opponents. Thx. Craig Please feel free to make your suggestions. Team Scotland Team Australia Team Malaysia Team Galicia Team Hungary Team Slovakia Team Russia Team Canada Team South Africa Team Spain Team Mexico Team Colombia Team Ukraine Team Bangladesh Team Malaysia Team Europe Team Nigeria Team Palestine Beautiful Romania
