Chess communities thrive when members have access to the right resources at the right time. If you are struggling to keep your group active or provide ongoing value, sharing curated chess resources is a proven solution. Use these ready-made templates to quickly share helpful content and spark meaningful interactions.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Resource sharing templates work because they deliver immediate, practical value to community members. In chess, players of all levels are constantly seeking tools, guides, and references to improve their skills or stay updated. By highlighting relevant resources, you make your community a go-to hub for reliable information.
This approach also addresses common pain points, such as information overload or lack of direction. Curated resource posts save members time and build trust in your leadership. When you consistently share high-quality recommendations, you encourage reciprocation, feedback, and further sharing among members. This cycle of value and engagement strengthens the sense of community and keeps members coming back.

Pick a template that fits the resource you want to share, personalize the details, and post it to your community channel. Explain briefly how the resource helps, and invite members to share their experiences or feedback. Rotate between articles, tools, videos, and interactive guides to keep things fresh and relevant. Always monitor responses to see what resonates most and adjust your approach accordingly.
Since these templates are designed for all platforms, adapt the format to fit the channel. On forums or long-form platforms, add more context or discussion prompts. For social media, keep posts concise and use visuals or hashtags to boost visibility. In chat apps, share direct links and encourage quick reactions or replies.
These templates include prompts specifically designed to invite members to upload annotated games, share their favorite PGN files, or discuss key moments from recent matches. You can tailor posts to request members' thoughts on famous positions or personal games, making it easy for users to contribute and discuss analysis within the thread.
Leverage templates that ask members to share their favorite opening lines or resources for learning particular variations (e.g., Sicilian Defense, King's Indian Attack). You might use posts like 'Share your go-to resources for mastering the Caro-Kann' or 'What videos helped you understand the London System?' to spark focused, valuable exchanges.
Select templates that encourage members to post their favorite puzzle sites, custom puzzle sets, or even create weekly 'Tactics Challenge' threads. You can also prompt members to share specific positions that taught them an important tactical motif, such as forks or pins, and foster discussion around effective solving strategies.
Absolutely. The templates include prompts for sharing book recommendations tailored to player rating ranges, topics (e.g., endgames, middlegame strategy), or famous authors like Silman or Dvoretsky. You can also create recurring threads for study group formation, where members list their interests and connect for group study.
Utilize resource prompts that focus on tournament-specific needs, such as packing checklists, local event calendars, or preparation routines (e.g., pre-game rituals, time control strategies). Encourage members to post guides or checklists they've found useful and to discuss tools for tracking performance during OTB events.
Some templates are tailored for vetting and reviewing popular online platforms (like Chess.com, Lichess, or various YouTube channels). You can prompt members to share their experiences with specific courses, coaches, or learning apps, and facilitate discussions on identifying high-quality, credible materials amid the vast amount of chess content online.
