Hey everyone,
I’m looking for one or more awesome people to help co-lead the Grand Tourneys club! We’ve got 155 members with 100% activity, but lately we’ve started losing a few — and I’d love to turn that around and keep the club growing strong.
This club has grown completely organically — I’ve only ever sent out two invites. Everything else has come from community energy and word-of-mouth, which makes it all the more special. 💬✨
We recently lost our Super Admin 😢, and while they were fantastic, time zones made it tough to coordinate. I’m hoping to find someone active, social, and excited to help shape what’s next.
We run weekly themed tournaments — creative, pun-filled, and community-driven — like Frosty Tactics, Cinco de Mate, Fool’s Gambit, and many more. It’s a fun space for players who enjoy chess with personality. ♟️🎭
I could really use help with:
Welcoming new members
Gathering feedback & keeping the energy up
Managing member lists & growing the roster
Creating and coordinating club vs. club matches
Being present in club chat/forums
Reaching out to other clubs for cross-collabs
(Bonus) If you know JavaScript or Python, that’s a big plus — I’m building tools to automate and streamline everything 🛠️
A little about me:
I’m a developer with a system that launches 15 themed public tournaments per week. I love building things behind the scenes — but I’m not great with time management, and honestly, I struggle with the social side of running a club 😅. I often forget to post or check in — so I really need partners who can help carry the community side of things and bring ideas to life. Most important is to communicate and interface with me. We will set the club direction together.
What’s ahead:
🌟 Continuing our full weekly tournament series🌟 Designing custom trophies and spotlighting top players🌟 Expanding automation (✔️ approved by Chess.com support)🌟 Launching more team matches and club matchups🌟 Collaborating with other clubs for shared events
If you’re passionate about chess, community, and creativity — and you’d like to help shape something fun and unique — I’d love to have you on board.
