Premium Chess FIDE's online server and training platform

[Vladimir Drkulec]

It is my intention to go ahead with making an arrangement with Premium Chess as discussed in the last two voting member meetings.

[Vladimir Drkulec]

Carlo Stellati, president of Premium Chess pointed out the following:

"Just to clarify one point mentioned by your eMail:
The Premium Chess server does not come from FIDE but is fully managed by
Premium Chess. FIDE adopted the same platform proposed to the National
Chess Federations and players have the full visibility of every member
of the Premium Chess community (Fide plus National Chess Federations),..."

If you are not in hurry to "go ahead with making arrangement with Premium Chess", please consider this:
1.www.chesssupersite.com is opening in January 2016.
2.Chess Supersite Corporation is a fully reporting issuer, already got all the required approvals such as US Securities Commission, FINRA, etc. and its shares will start trading soon under the symbol CHZP.
3.CFC Members could financially benefit from participation in the www.chesssupersite.com upcoming events.
As per quality of each site - obviously I'm not in a position to judge, however an independent panel of 3-5 experts could test them both to make its judgement.

Vlad. Maybe you can give a summary. In order to get FIDE online ratings and titles do CFC members have to go with this premium chess server that's being offered, or can they just go straight to the CFC server which shares the same platform ? As I understand it they have to pay an annual membership fee of $X.

Is Premium Chess charging members a fee???

There are different levels of service. You can play for free. You can pay more and play for titles. The training platform for Chess in the Schools is the most exciting part of the service for me. That portion is free for kids.

Well, I've looked at the Premium Chess and for free all you get - nothing except a mediocre playing zone. The "exciting" training platform for Chess in the Schools I could not find. Please provide the link.

I'm not advertising here - all I want is to inform the Voting Members on some important issues. Look, earlier you were writing about advantages of Premium Chess. So in all fairness I thought I could mention advantages of the Chess Supersite.
