or even a CFC rated blitz tournament.
I'm with Kerry. You are proposing that it is morally wrong for consenting people to play chess. Your question is absurd.
And it is irrelevant what Nakamura's motivation was.
Pretty pointless. The CFC has tried to institute TD titles off and on with no success for the last 30 years. And Organizer titles? what's the point?
There is no demand for such titles....
Click on "list crosstables". They are listed in chronological order with the date given. Of course that is the date of the given tournament not the rating date but close enough I would say.
the variation between provinces for when the NMs were earned is pretty interesting. Taking those labled without a date as pre 1996 then total NMs and percent made after 1996 are: (excuse my...
just imagine how much they would care about their CFC blitz rating...
no... the formula I gave is a closed form expression which is an approximation of the [non closed form] result (and a pretty good approximation but still an approximation). The table is the one...
that was my first impression too but a difference of 0.015 is outside rounding error which led to my further inquiries.
Actually it's not. The formula often used is 1/(1 + 10^(delta R/400)). This agrees with the table pretty closely but differs by as much as 0.015 for certain rating intervals. The table is the...
Not the Victoria Chess Club
Not this organizer.
Not in my opinion.
Well, not withstanding the handbook, some people apparently disagree with you (see Michael Barron's post, plus presumably the people who drafted the motion).
And I think if you told someone who...
well, it's a matter of what the primary purpose of the event is isn't it? Is it primarily a qualification stage (in which case the FIDE rules should apply) or is it primarily a national...
I didn't read it all carefully but probably some statement should be made as to the nationality of the player as indicated on their FIDE card. Not withstanding the rights of Permanent residents (or...

Basically, Mark's post replicates it although it is better formatted and there is a small...
maybe you can get the olympiad thermometer updated to reflect the new fundraising season. I know of at least one donation that should be listed.
(and while I'm on the topic - perhaps the...
I'll plug our Olympiad fundraiser here: Sept. 17 in Victoria. http://victoriachessclub.pbworks.com/w/page/27484953/Victoria-Chess-Fundraiser
It's not too early to start organizing Olympic Waive...
well, the last word on that (rating costs) was that Fred calculated the CFC's cost for rating at about $2 per player. It's hard not to believe that there is something wrong with what's being done...
I missed that one but I am not too too surprised to hear of it's defeat. It is consistent with the governors attitude on raising the tournament membership fee - that any activity associated with the...
and a lot of active chess (at least in BC). The CFC has priced itself out of this market.
You cannot play in the US (and vice versa) for them without paying a membership thing. Seems like...
well, he did manage to paint a bright red target on himself :-).
Although I think the particular idea does not fit for most of Canada, I do believe that the CFC needs fundamental and radical...
no more Lakeshore CC Hugh?
would you say that your affiliate was successful in drumming up new members or were you just processing people who would have joined the CFC anyway?
Clearly Michael would have lots of issues to work out and some more convincing on purported benefits
well, to bring it back on topic, if there are lots of people with unresolved membership issues at a tournament, it's not going to be easier to deal with if they hail from different clubs with...
ps: Bob - just look at the number of people on the Canadian Open pre-registered list that have "CHECK" under their CFC status.
