But that is what hope is - not a guarantee but a potential. IF we can integrate the junior chess better with the adult chess and even have a 5% retention rate we would be doing fine! The fact is that loads of kids learn chess at school, play in schools events etc but we don't integrate them with adult clubs and it just becomes "something I really enjoyed at school". We have to do stuff to realise this hope obviously, it won't just happen of it's own accord.
