Which is the preferred Business Plan for Australian Adult Chess?
You guessed it – Business Plan B wins
Why?
How else are we going to keep adult chess as the smallest sport in Australia?
How about less rating prizes and instead, more players?
If you want extra cash do some fruit picking – or improve your chess.
Sounds like a plan to me. – Kerry Corker
