I believe you would be correct on that one, as many don't want to be jumped all over if they say something. I've talked to them in P.M.'s.

Would you include people with low chess ratings in this group? You have to be creative to make a plan! 🙂

You also need the will to win. I have intelligent friends who never care if they win or lose, whatever they do. They believe it is superficial.

What this tells me is they like the fun of playing the game, but winning isn't important to them. When playing for a clan that is in the top 10 or on the 1rst page, these people are interested in winning. ( Or perhaps should care would be more accurate) I was always very competitive all my life.

I was a bit like that too. My friends who are not like that, are not at all interested in chess or other competing games. They feel differently about competitions.

I was 5 or 6 when I started playing competitive sports so I guess it is in my blood. I can't see someone not trying their best. Why bother if you aren't going to try your hardest?

Among us friends, I am the only one who knows anything about chess, except my grandson who is very good. The others participate in things, they don't compete.
