Start a College Chess Club!

An instructive "how to" article has been posted at Susan Polgar's blog, written by Gregory Alexander, Associate Chair of the College Chess League (CCL).

It describes in detail how to begin a chess club at your college or university, from the ground up. "All it takes is one to leader to get your club off the ground," he says. "Don't worry about your playing strength," he continues. "It is much more important to have a solid organizer lead the club than someone who plays a strong game of chess. What is needed is good leadership."

A comprehensive list of university chess clubs is available at the CCL Community Page. For more information, Gregory can be contacted at gregorya@u.washington.edu.
