We should list much more, like chess clubs that serve a specific region or locality, but there are thousands of these throughout the world and we just don't have the time. We rely instead on the national federations to maintain reliable listings for the clubs established within their country.

For this article, we double checked our links, refreshed those that had become stale, and created a new resource -- Chess Ratings -- where we list our own articles about this key feature of modern chess. You'll find a quick link to this new resource in the link box located in the upper right corner of this article.

Two of the questions that our correspondents ask frequently are

• How do I start a chess club?; or
• How do I organize a chess tournament?

Two scholastic resources that discuss issues facing all chess clubs are listed under Start a Club (see the link box again). In the same link box you'll find two resources to Organize a Tournament, although we're certain that these resources from FIDE and the USCF are too high level for the objectives of our correspondents.

Our next article on external links will take a closer look at Scholastic Chess. See you then! [All articles in this series can be found under Resource Reviews (link box again).]
