Though physical clubs are on the decline there has been an evolution toward the virtual chess club. ICC, for example. is a very serious, large worldwide on-line chess club... and there are many more of these electronic sites. If we take all the on-line members and players we may see that chess is not actually on the decline... but simply transitioning to the Internet era. In my local club, which folded after 10 years of operation, I perhaps played no more than 20 different people over and over again. However, on-line I have played hundreds of games with different players from all over the world.

P.S. My Google search for 'online chess' showed 3,180,000 results.
