OK, thanks for your input. I know there's a concern about cheating, although I think it's overblown. There are things that can be done - the consequences of cheating in a USCF-rated game are much higher than normal online chess, so that itself should be a disincentive. The idea of USCF-rated chess is that the players might be a bit more serious minded, and games might be a bit higher quality. We could try a lot more options that just G10/0 on Thursday every week - basically replicating the tournaments that the club used to have on Thursdays, tornadoes on Saturdays, championship series, etc.
Also - for the record - the USCF online ratings are totally different from the USCF Regular or Quick ratings - so any online activity will NOT affect the USCF ratings you are used to.
Oh well, I suspect the concerns about cheating will keep us from have USCF-rated games, but I wish the club was willing to try something new.
I'm just wondering if anyone is interested in the Cincinnati Chess Club having USCF-rated tournaments online on chess.com?
