One way you can encourage continued participation is by running an ongoing tournament/ladder in the club. The way it would work is that you play only one round of the tourney each week, and simply have it be a month(s) long affair. time controls would almost have to be towards blitz though maybe 15 mins each with like 3 sec fisher time, Or just make it a blitz tourney one month and then a slower one next month etc etc. just leave enough time to go over a game or certain tactics, endgames, etc, so you can actually teach the kids something. DO NOT TEACH ROTE OPENINGS, they will want you too but this is just straight up a bad habbit of youth chess. Youth chess is not won or lost in the opening, in fact you could even say the endgame is not that important beacuse so few games will reach a viable one. tactics are pretty much king and they will get the most benifit from that area of study. maybe handing out homework puzzles would be something you could do as well. anyways, that's just my ideas off the top of my head.

anyways, i haven't practiced my chess in a long long time so i am likely horrible now but if you want a game hit me up. (also any go players out there, i am always up for some games)

Wut

man, I'm confused. and a little drunk, but hey, er. The original post is about a club you're doing for your school, and you want advice; you've then got a list of people that want to play. so.. well, I'd like to know more than I do about chess. If you're going to play I'd like to play; if you're going to teach, I'd like to learn; if you're going to have an advice group about your role as a chess group er.. leader? I'd like to know the advice.

I think playing on FICS (Free Internet Chess Server) is a better idea.

Just my 2cents

I'll play also, yahoo is a good way to play

Just my opinion, I believe its a dumb idea to show people how the pros play because noobs trying to emulate pros usually do far worse then people who practice and figure out the best ways to win themselves. It develops their game sense, strategy, prediction, mindgames, and tactics, something you can't get from direct copying of professional chess players.

Also, I think it's better to get cheap chess sets over having the students play each other through computers because real chess then requires more attention and you can trick people by looking in a certain direction on the board before owning them.

Competition through ladders or monthly tournaments are also good since that will make some of the chess people want to get better instead of dicking around and making the same mistakes without a care but don't forget the people who simply play for fun either.

Chess is like the starcraft of bored games. (DIDJA SEE WUT I DID THAR)
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.
