If you are a quality player, try to get into Metallica, the best clan here.
It is well worth waiting for.
If you are a hopeless douchebag, and drunk beyond having any chess skils, then IVV needs you. 😛

You need to subscribe to be in a clan mate.

Clans are groups of 20 or less players. One challenge will challenge another. Usually, you are paired with a similarly rated player. A clan challenge can be just one player against another from two different clans or it can be all members. Typically clan matches seem to be 3-7 players or so in a challenge. Each player plays as black & white. You get a point for a win, none for a draw or loss I believe.

Some weird people seem to think the more matches you play, the better you are. They aim to be on "page 1" because they have more points than anyone else.

However, there are clan leagues also. This is a little different than the clan challenges. You have a team of 6. You then get a match with black & white against one member from each other team (usually 10?) in a division. Here it depends on the strength of the division regarding what the strength of your opponents will be. Eventually, you will be playing players mostly of your strength in the leagues as well.

You can leave a clan at any time.

You can also make yourself unavailable for clan challenges if you have too many games going.

There are also Clan forums where you can chat about stuff that generally interests the full clan.

Try find a clan that meets your needs though.

If you like Fantasy stuff you can join my clan Clan 25006
If you're of Jewish descent you can join Clan 214
If you like moving fast and furious you join Clan 74 or Clan 25005
If you have a soft spot for animals there is always Clan 24241

There are tons to choose from with almost every interest catered for. If you can't find what you're looking for then you can always make your own (BEWARE YOU CAN'T DELETE A CLAN ONCE YOU'VE CREATED IT)

Basically clans are there for like minded individuals to join together and have some fun playing chess and get some sort of team spirit.

In a clan does every individual play their own game or is each game a group effort with strategies discussed via messaging among each clan member?
