BRICS Chess Club and its friends is a team of all of us, which has nothing to do with politics and we must have some basic rules for good coexistence.

I hope that this will be a friendly team of BRICS countries, and later of their other friends. In this club we will play chess daily, vote in chess and participate in tournaments.

We have participants from different languages, cultures. The participant himself can speak in his own language without warning, but if he knows English, then it is better for everyone to use it, as this improves and facilitates mutual communication of all participants.

Avoid any insults related to ethnicity, religion or beliefs, as well as political ideology.

Please remember the BASIC RULES OF PARTICIPATION in matches:

The use of computer engines is prohibited. Analysis of unfinished games (as well as their discussion with other chess players) is prohibited. Including the use of endgame tables is prohibited. Game databases that do NOT contain move evaluations are allowed. Be careful when using deep variations from literature and published game analyses. Engines are widely used in publications and the cheater detection system may consider that you used an engine. ChessCom actively closes accounts for using engines (cheating).

Avoid timeouts in matches you play. Tolerance of timeouts in club matches will mean a warning. We play for everyone, for the team itself, and not to prove individuality. Refusal to play matches with a small number of applications, without losing, will lead to exclusion from the team.

I hope that we will also have Vote Chess. We will welcome everyone who wants to learn something about chess through joint analysis. All players who participate in Vote Chess matches should take into account the main rule:

Vote is a team game. Voting for a move that is not commented on or at least mentioned as possible is not allowed.

I hope everyone understands these rules.
Thank you for being a part of our club!
