The thing is there is a lot of space for chess to be developed in Doha. Its nice to see a public place where chess players are playing continuously..
Chess will develop only if we are playing..
I am not FIDE rated but I love the game and won't mind playing with you if you need a partner. You will kick my arse first few times but it will get closer as I shake off the rust
I think expats here could hardly manage to spare time for a game like chess. Locals might find it interesting if ur message gets across to them. For them Time! not a problem :). If you are really serious about finding all those people then, I think, a classified ad in an Arabic local daily could do the trick.
Hi seventh time,
Thanks - but not interested in online play - want to meet real players here in Qatar. Do you play? Have a FIDE rating? Let me know...
hi can u be my master?
Hi King_Albert
Thanks for the suggestion - but I'm not looking for school or coaching roles...
I'm more interested in meeting serious chess players who enjoy playing the game and the challenge of self-improvement...as well as the social element of course.
I suppose around half-a-dozen players who want to meet on a weekly basis would be the ideal
any takers?
ohhh sorry....
