Just had a thought why not set up either a chess ladder or a chess club in the virtual Pub?

 

Info on setting up a virtual club on lichess here

 

https://lichess.org/blog/XnEFmRAAAB4A7WU7/running-your-chess-club-online

 

Or maybe just a simple chess ladder on a sticky thread?

 

Needs someone who is willing to spend a little time on setting it up and running it. I am ruling myself out by the way.

 

If set up correctly there shoukd be ni reason why members couldn't arrange to play games in person occasionally rather than just playing virtual.

 

Just random thoughts.

More thoughts;

If we can get a minimum of 5 people to begin with then I’d be up for sorting something. 
Not sure what, but it’d have to be something very simple. Nothing serious and with players of any level.

Maybe we should also start a canal version of Mornington Crescent.
