Leaving my federation

Avatar of Bulkey

I am an inactive greek chessplayer, planning to move either to the french or to the russian federation, so that i can get better support on my way to 2200, for establishing a sound chess education...

Of course with the possible exception of Armenia and maybe India, nowadays it's everywhere heartbreaking for chessplayers, isn't that so?

Even with the best support, how would an inactive player make 2200?

 My chess understanding has almost reached FM level, so with the right peer-group and tournament schedule, i will get at 2200 in about a year, then i will go on with a training plan for becoming a strong IM.

Why would foreign chess federations give you any (more) support than your greek one? I doubt they will.

Join a decent Chessclub and play there against strong players.

Except if you are a 12 year old child prodigy going for a 2300 rating, no chess federation in the world is going to care about you (as in help you to improve) as a member.

As you could guess i am not wishing to become a chess professional, but rather a strong amateur who could give international tournaments a try occationally. Besides, i may as well move to France so that i can study sociology or something, then you got the point.

There is still no point.

There is no reason to give "support" to amateur players.
