The German Language Team
The task of the team is the German language support in the club.
The table below show what parts of the whole task are managed by who. They are all volunteers, who give their work and free time for Gernan speaking players, letting them play in the club.
Since the whole task is divided into sub-tasks, the load is less on the individual contributors, so they can do it next to their everyday job and their family.

Newsletter Managers
As the server develops, players are informed about the new things by the newsletter lists. German speaking players by the Rundschreiben list. Andras Galos composes the newsletter message in English (and in Hungarian), and these messages are translated into German and sent out by the Newsletter Managers. The list is writeable by them only, players subscribe to it to be informed about the new things.

Website Maintainers
German version of these pages is maintained by them. Somethimes this and that change, and they upload the new things in German. They have access to the Content Manager interface of the website and can modify the German pages. Some html knowledge is useful, but it's also learnable, not a big thing.

Forum Moderators
They keep their eyes on the German speaking forums, and keep contact with the foruming players, answer their questions, etc. This sub-task requires some more online presence, especially if the forum traffic grows. Some forum knowledge is useful here, but these can also be learned.

A language support thougth safe if two contributors are for each sub-task. They help each other also, and, if something happens with one of them, the others can take that job temporarly.
Starting supporting a new language is best if the two-two contributors are given.
If you feel you can shoulder one or more of the above tasks, then contact us!
There is a mailing list for the German Language Team, where they can talk each other, can talk about technical things too, so they can do anything that is important for the successfull work of the team.

Wilhelm Steinitz
 Born in 1836 in Prague, world champion between 1866 and 1894.
He laid down the base of positional game, therefore he is known as the founder of the modern chess. No doubt, Steinitz has opened a new chapter in the history of the game. Because of his careness, efforts for the economical play, the great attackers of his age (Chigorin, Gunsberg) have lost in order. His approach was not appreciated by the age he lived in. Players didn't take too much care of the pawn, the structure of the game, opposing to Steinitz, who probably took too much care of these.
On the first official world championship, in 1886 in New York and in St. Luis, Steinitz played 10:5 with 5 draws against the Polish Johannes Hermann Zukertort. He defended his title against Isidor Gunsberg, and twice against Mihail Chigorin too. Then lost it in 1894 against Emanuel Lasker in the final.
Finished his life in 1900 in New York in a mental hospital.

Conditional Moves
Here in the club, conditional moves can be used as they are used in email chess almost everywhere.
These can speed up the game by the way, that a player who counts on his opponents moves, can set his reply moves in advance.
Conditional move sequences can be given for more moves ahead, and different move sequences can be given for different variations also.
As well as in traditional correspondence chess, conditional moves are visible by the opponent too.
