Hey ,

Good idea! I think it could be beneficial for the forum if it does bring more members to this platform. The ideas on how to use fg on chess will come with time I am sure.

Voting yes

Chess has been suggested for over 1.5 decades, what makes you think now, all of a sudden in 2022 it will be created?

Hmm.. it’s not a bad idea. I can’t see any reason to say no. If a group of people who like chess need a spot to play chess, I’ve got no problem with that. Voting yes for now, but based on the past it seems unlikely to happen. I would like to see this idea expanded upon. Maybe allow other games as well( checkers, Catan, dominion, or what ever game people want). If you have a handful of people playing chess, a handful playing checkers, and a handful playing Catan, that could be a popping forum of gamers.

I can't find a reason to vote no. Gotta love chess and board games in general. Voted yes

Just between these two websites there's currently about a 300,000 players playing right now and it's 9 something a.m. chess.com alone has 77 million players... And tell me why we don't have a forum for this? On the biggest gaming website in the world? Makes no sense. There's literally 10 times the amount of people playing on these websites as there were 3 years ago. Chess is huge now.

With 1 in 10 people across the globe knowing how to play... This should be a no-brainer, since this isn't implemented I'm guessing it's because of this one reason.

Too much site traffic with not enough profit?
But that would get people in the door... The most likely they might use other parts of the forum.

Thanks for the invaluable information, I couldn't tell

And no, chess isn't more popular than it is now, and certainly not on jsp.


its not popular on jsp because it does not have a sub forum on jsp.

it may be a site traffic issue in the future but i dont see people suddenly swarming jsp for chess. i see absolutely no reason not to agree on this and its just another quirk to jsp as to why there is not a subforum already.

Actually, the more I think of it, the more it would make a sense to have it a bit more general, and make a sub-forum for board games, rather than specifically for chess.

What ever it takes, I would think soon after it opened it if it went that way all other game posts would be flooded out 99 to 1 after some time for the community to build.
