Which club's fans are the best at chess?

Following on from the successful BigFooty chess club (https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/chess-join-the-bigfooty-chess-club-on-chess-com.1238145/) we were thinking of how to combine footy and chess. We couldn't find a way, so thought we'd settle the question of which club has the best chess players.

Here's how it works

  • Every week, there will be "chess AFL matches" just like the AFL
  • Each match comprises of fans facing off against each other in a chess match. The number of players per team depends on interest.
  • There is a Finals series just like the AFL season
I'm interested, but I don't know how much time I can commit

That's okay! All we're doing at this stage is expression of interest. No commitment at this stage. We will ultimately have captains of the chess AFL teams who will arrange teams. All we need is for you to respond to the thread and say you're interested. We anticipate your time commitment will be one 10 minute game a week.

Great. I have more questions

Just ask! The aim is to allow chess fans to represent their favourite AFL team.


Sign up by saying you're interested below! We'll take your favourite AFL team from your profile.

RULES

1. Each league match is comprised of a minimum of 2 games between different players (10 minutes, random colour). Captains may agree for a match to comprise more than 2 games, although there is no obligation for a Captain to accept such an offer.

2. Any team who cannot play 2 players in a week will forfeit the second game, if it is found that they are the reason for the second game not being played.

3. The top 4 teams in the VFL and NVFL will make it to Finals. Tie breaks will be determined by 1) match result between two teams, 2) points difference, 3) points for, 4) coin toss.

3. In finals, matches are comprised of a minimum 4 games between 2 players (10 minutes: one white, one black).

4. I shall rule on all decisions and my decision will be final.

5. State of Origin: a NVFL competion, comprising of players who may choose between the NSW or the Queensland teams

6. All-Star: Each Captain will choose to nominate 3 players in their respective league, giving each 3/2/1 votes respectively based on quality of play, fair play and posting in the thread. The top 5 vote-getters will represent the VFL and NVFL respectively in a 5 Board match (10 minutes, random colour)

I'll sign up for Essendon if they need a bench warmer. There's plenty better than me that can have first crack though.

I'm interested, but I don't know how much time I can commit

Cheers. It’s one 10minute game a week only, which you arrange at your convenience so hopefully that works for you.
