While thinking about this topic I began to wonder about other tribes. A brief (but no means exhaustive list) I came up with includes
- 'Too busy to play' tribe - Studies chess, subscribes to magazines, keeps up with latest news, even comes to all the tournaments, but never has the time to actually play!
- 'I have no life other than chess' tribe - Plays every event going, including club events, weekend events, simuls etc
- 'Where do we drink' tribe - Normally ex-juniors players now in their 20's. Only play events with a well stocked bar and plenty of mates.

What about the the tribe that plays off-beat or theoretically doubtful openings? :) -Peter
How about the, I rant about chess administration on interrant forums and I know all the answers, but I do not involve myself in chess administration, or even play anymore- tribe.
