Clubs and Individual Members
The Italian Chess Federation is structured in terms of clubs which are members of the federation, and individuals which are members of the clubs. All individual memberships are made through the clubs and are on a calendar year basis with the individual being a member of only one club for any particular calendar year.
2011 Membership Statistics:
- 380 clubs
- 14,184 individual members
- 856 instructors (a part (subset) of the individual members)
- 366 arbiters (a part (subset) of the individual members)
Since memberships are on an annual basis as opposed to a rolling basis, complete 2012 statistics will be not available until December 31st, 2012.

In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.”
