Recruite the best players for team matches in the open, this is the problem with Isolated Chess currently. The highest player is a 1600 in the bracket you set up for people to see the ratings but first, you need to recruit the best, prehaps 1700+, then it can go down from there.
How To Make An Online Chess Group Do Well
Sort:
stormrunner88 I try to, but they won't accept or join any. And I don't do Open or <1600 matches because it's always unfair on my side.
There's probably many reasons why people join and are active, as well as being passive and leave.
Creating a joyful and friendly atmosphere is one thing.
I have left some groups soon where members and admins were unfriendly and childish right away.
The group members and admins can make and break a group with their behavior.
In other groups I really liked the personal and friendly approach, and I happily stayed.
achja The group is very friendly and sweet. I will let you in here. (Click the word)
Hi,
I need help on how to make an online chess group do well. My group is Isolated Chess (www.chess.com/groups/view/isolated-chess) and currently has 54 members and was created in March. We have major problems with being active and doing well in Team Matches and Vote Chess Games. We have weekly puzzles, forum games, and active admins, but the group barely participates in anything. When they do join a Team Match or Vote Chess Game, we usually lose. How do I increase our winning score?
Thanks for all your help.
