I've never been a member until recently. But honestly, I expected so much more from them.
Chess Life stinks. There are a couple decent columns, but overall it seems to lack any sort of direction or usefulness. I was excited when my first issue arrived, but quickly realized that it offered very little substance.
I can't see how they are doing anything to further the growth of chess. I'd like to see some creativity in marketing and outreach to new players. A lot of effort seems to have been dedicated to selling products to existing enthusiasts. That's only effective in extracting money from the tiny pool of players.
This want a well thought out post. I just wanted to vent a little... I think a replacement organization might be warranted.
