Don't be so pessimistic Bonsai. You'll get more out of life. I forgive you for all the abuse you've directed towards me and my contemporaries.

Chessists is not a word, and it sounds bad. You wouldn't want a society called "The International Sexist Society" now would you? Sounds arrogant, and intellectual makes it sound even worse.

Yes, you should join Bonsai. You never know. You might find out you actually enjoy chess.

'Chessist' is a fine word.
It's a bit archaic but we like it that way.
Not only are we chessists, we are intellectual chessists.

Section 3. Chessist:
‘A Boston paper calls an editor a “writist”, a New Hampshire paper speaks of a “hair cuttist” and a Pennsylvania paper styles Paul Morphy as “a chessist”’. Brooklyn Eagle, 5 October 1868, page 1.

You are an intellectual. Your rejection of membership is unfortunate but respected. All the best.

The club is better than expected as I have received lots of advice to take decisions related to chess improvement.
Greetings everybody,
I write today to inform all my fans that I am putting my chess writing career on the back burner to promote our chess club, The Intellectual Chessists Society. I understand that the absence of my writings will be considered as a great blow to the Chess.com community, and chess philosophy as a whole. However, I truly believe that I can have a greater influence on the Chess world through this Chess club. I encourage you all to join the club, together we can grow and help popularize the sport of Chess. It is our goal to become the largest chess club on Chess.com. I'm seeking active members who will help promote our club and philosophy. Thank you.
