Quick post here... going to limit my chess posts...
Say you're a talented player with NO OR LITTLE MONEY...
I'm sure there are quite a few out there.... including GMS
You are told... you can play otb chess (and to me it seems the clubs have to like you to play you personally in some cases at least)... but u have to pay FEE UPFRONT...
Well if they've got no money they CAN'T pay it and if they've got little money... well that money should go on food etc...
With the old system no fee was demanded upfront.
I wouldn't mind it being national grading with no fee being demanded upfront as it seems quite a large proportion of the fee goes on paying for admin staff and 'international team'...
Final quick point...
Even if some people in control of chess clubs in Yorks think it is good for them doesn't mean it is good for everyone! People with no/little money may often not say they have none... they'll just not play otb chess...
Even for me who's played since 4... online is much cheaper and easier...
