To join this group, you have two possible methods:

1. simply add the "userbox for Wikiproject Chess" by including {{Wikiproject/Chess/Userbox}} in your User page.
   
   
2. If you do not like userboxes, you can still join by putting [[Category:WikiProject Chess participants|PUT_YOUR_USERID_HERE]] on your User page.
   The strange PUT_YOUR_USERID_HERE is necessary so that the software sorts you in the right letter. For example if a user called "Jimbo" incorrectly puts [[Category:WikiProject Chess participants]] on its user page he will be listed under the letter "U" because the software will recognise him as "User:Jimbo", but if he correctly puts [[Category:WikiProject Chess participants|Jimbo]], the software will correctly recognise him as "User:Jimbo"
