Anyone know total number of USCF members circa 2017?
I'm wondering if anyone knows roughly what the total number of USCF members was at the end of 2017. Long ago I recall someone (Vlad, I think) posted on chesstalk that the total was about 200,000 some years ago. Whatever it is these days (e.g. when tallied at the end of 2017), perhaps the CFC should hope to one day in the distant future have the total CFC membership figure reach about 10% of the USCF total, given that Canada is one-tenth of what the US is in many areas, i.e. as a rule of thumb.
