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.

Al-Adli
About 800 years after the birth of Christ, chess was well known in the Arabic World. Al-Adli was the greatest known player of that age until 847. He was the closest friend of the caliph, a poet, and a minister-like official.
The game was a bit different than the modern chess we know. The initial setup was the same, as well as the king, the knight and the rook. The queen was the weakest piece because it could move one square and in diagonals only. Bishop moved in diagonals, but only two sqares, and could jump over pieces, didn't attack and didn't defend the nearest four squares. Pawns could move one step only and there was neider castling.

Pairing
It's easy to find opponents here by pairing. Players can request pairing for one game, or that the server should search for opponents until she plays less than the given number of games.
This last one is the automatic pairing.
By default those players will be paired, who's ratings are closer than 100 elo points, and has never, or more than 90 daysy ago they played.
These parameters can be customizes, if, for example, somebody wants rather stronger or weaker players.
