I can see that it was considered necessary to reduce commercial exhortations from varied commercial groups. Did your group of enthusiasts also consider that placing the club onto a commercial site such as this one would give the site Your Move Chess and Games an advantage over other retail outlets?

Did you consider factors of media control or monopolistic control of market?
