The Spanish Language Team
The task of the team is the Spanish 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 Spanish 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 Spanish texts of the server, check and correct them, and insert the new things also. The server can "speak" and "understand" in Spanish based on their work. Requires no direct contact with the players, this is a background job.

Newsletter Managers

Andras Galos composes the newsletter message in English (and in Hungarian), and these messages are translated into Spanish 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.

Forum Moderators
They keep their eyes on the Spanish 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 Spanish 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.
The Spanish Language Team is under forming now.
Now the initial translations are in progress.
Still not enough volunteers has joined this team to start the Spanish language support.
As soon as all the necessary posts are taken and the team is over the initial translation phase, the support will be officially started.

Arpad Emrick Elo
The ELO system for rating chessplayers was named after its originator, Arpad Elo. Born in 1903, Elo emigrated to the USA when he was 10. Educated at Chicago University, he later became professor of physics at Marquette University, Milwaukee. He learned to play chess in his teens and played in a number of tournaments. He was champion or co-champion of Wisconsin 9 times between 1935 and 1961. He was active in the USCF (United States Chess Federation) from its founding in 1939. He spent 20 years developing and validating his chess rating system, which was adopted by FIDE in 1970 for international use.
His book 'The Rating of Chessplayers, Past and Present' was published in 1978 and is the definitive reference on the ELO rating system. Most chess organisations that perform ratings for players use the ELO system, or a variation of it.

Classes
The game is the most exciting, when the two players are on the same playing strength. If the difference is too high between their strength, then one player will see the same game boring, that the other will see annihilating.
The playing strength are defined by the elo rating, its value is usually between 800 and 2600 points. Players are divided into different classes according to their playing strength, their elo rating. Players in the same class are in similar playing level.
Tournaments are usually class based, so players in the same level play each other in tournaments (mostly).
The following classes are defined in the club:
| Class M |
2200- |
| Class X |
2000-2199 |
| Class A |
1800-1999 |
| Class B |
1600-1799 |
| Class C |
1400-1599 |
| Class D |
1200-1399 |
| Class E |
1000-1199 |
| Class F |
000-999 |
