Norms and rules

The Pillars of Our Chess School 

 Welcome to the heart of our chess school, where every move on the board follows the guidelines of respect, learning and camaraderie. Here, we establish the norms and rules that form the basis of our chess community. These guidelines not only define the game, but also create an enriching environment for everyone. 

1. Mutual Respect: The Essence of the Game 

 At our school, mutual respect is the golden rule. Every player, regardless of his or her skill level, deserves to be treated with courtesy and consideration. Chess is a game of strategy, but also of respect for your opponent. Kind gestures, encouraging words, and patience are essential. We celebrate the diversity of play styles and approaches, fostering an environment where everyone can learn and grow together. 

 2. Punctuality and Commitment: Discipline on the Board 

 Punctuality is key in chess. We value the discipline and commitment of our members. To ensure a harmonious flow of games and events, we ask everyone to arrive on time. Chess is a commitment, and each member plays a crucial role in the success of our school. Regular attendance and active participation strengthen our community and ensure a richer gaming experience for everyone. 

 3. Maintenance of Competitive Balance: Levels and Tournaments 

 We seek to create an environment where players of all levels find attractive challenges. We host tournaments that respect diversity of skills, ensuring each match is an exciting and fair challenge. We promote continuous improvement and celebrate individual achievements, thus creating a competitive, healthy and stimulating environment. 

 4. Sports Ethics: Honesty and Fair Play 

 Sports ethics are fundamental. All members agree to play fairly and honestly, following the established rules of the game. Any form of cheating or unsportsmanlike behavior is considered unacceptable. We value integrity and fair play, essential elements that strengthen the very essence of chess as a game of honor. 

 5. Collaboration and Community: Beyond the Board 

 We encourage collaboration and a sense of community among our members. Beyond the games, our school is a space where knowledge is shared, joint analyzes are carried out and collective learning is promoted. We are committed to being a supportive resource for everyone, regardless of experience level. 

6. Transparent Communication: An Informed School is a Strong School 

 Transparency is key at our school. We maintain open and clear communication about events, program changes and any other relevant information. We believe that an informed community is a strong and committed community. 

 7. Maintenance of Equipment and Play Space: Collective Care 

 We take care of our equipment and play space as a shared responsibility. We keep the board, parts and clocks in optimal condition. By doing so, we ensure that each game runs smoothly and that all members enjoy a pleasant atmosphere. 

 8. Active Participation in Events and Activities: Building Community 

 We encourage all members to actively participate in school events and activities. From simulations to keynote talks, every opportunity is a chance to learn, share and connect with other chess enthusiasts. Active participation not only strengthens the community, but also enriches each member's individual experience. 

 9. Constructive Conflict Resolution: Dialogue and Commitment 

 We understand that sometimes challenges or disagreements may arise. We encourage constructive conflict resolution through dialogue and compromise. We value diversity of opinion and believe that every challenge is an opportunity to learn and improve as a community. 

 10. Innovation and Continuous Improvement: Chess Evolves, So Do We 

 Our school embraces innovation and continuous improvement. We explore new ways of teaching, learn from our experiences and are open to suggestions from members to make our school even more vibrant and relevant. Constant evolution is key to staying at the forefront of chess and offering enriching experiences. 

  By following these norms and rules, we not only build a chess school, but a passionate and respectful community. We are excited to share games, learning and friendship with you in our vibrant chess corner. Welcome to our school, where chess is lived with passion and fair play!
