The Italian Language Team
The task of the team is the Italian language support in the club.
The table below shows what parts of the whole task are managed by who. They are all volunteers, who give their work and free time for Italian 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.

Base Text Editors
They maintain the Italian texts of the server, check and correct them, and insert the new things also. The server can "speak" and "understand" in Italian based on their work. Requires no direct contact with the players, this is a background job.

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

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 Italian 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.

Chess Tournaments
Modern chess tournaments began in the 1840s and the first international tournament was held in London, in 1851. Strong international tournaments were still quite rare and in the 1880s a master would have been lucky to be able to play in one reasonably strong tournament a year.
By the 1890s, however, a master could enter many strong tournaments throughout the year, and the prize money offered at tournaments made it possible for masters to have a professional chess career.
Nowadays there are many strong tournaments for masters and grandmasters, but there are also a huge number of tournaments for players of every strength. Weaker players today have the chance of improving their play by taking part in such tournaments, which are very competitive.

Claiming Result
It is possible here that the innocent player claims any result in a game which has been terminated by his/her opponent's fault.
It's not clearly the best if the innocent player wins, especially not if the game just started or he/she has a loosing position.
Sometimes it's definitely wrong if our rating is over our real playing strength, therefore players can claim draw and losing beside winning, and can delete the broken game without any result.
This can happen if our opponent runs out of time and has no more vacation for the current year or his/her vacation has also elapsed, or when he/she simply changes their mind and leaves the club.
In these situation it's up to the innocent player, what result he claims for that game. His/her results change according to the choice, the guilty player loses independently.
So, we can claim the best result for us in broken games, which is not necessarily the winning.
Tournament games differ, those are won by the innocent player, there is no result claim there.
