All true, of course. But I was pointing out the flaws in someone else's arguments, not making one of my own. Those flaws still remain in his argument.

To be precise, any rating system that is...

Logically, this would result in equal blame being affixed on any club in the world that has ever held an "unrated" events.

Of course the events you were referring to are not unrated, they are...

Talk to Roger about that. He sees no good reason to rate with CFC and he's the Pres. Mathematically he's perfecly correct, we are a small isolated chess community and rating with CFC would tell us...

On the other hand you haven't played him. I have and as my club rating at the time was about the same as his I can tell you that I was worse throughout the game and only won on time by about two...

Which is all hightly desireable and I'd love it if that's what you produce, but it can all be nicely and much more easily done with html 4.01, the last real verstion. XHTML - what a disaster that...

Ugh. HTML5 is not even a standard and does not even officially exist. If you have said you were useing html 4.01 I would have bad some hope, perhaps. Use of "HTML 5" is an abdication of standards...

Drupal. A CMS. Not a good sign I fear, although the site http://csscreator.com/ is very well done in Drupal, I must admit. Still the guy behind it is a certified css/html genius and they are...

Now that's really going out on a limb. I predict that whatever he does post, it will not be the long promised revelations about all the still un-named and vaguely hinted at scandals in Canadian...

This is just a falsehood that shows you don't know how html and CSS work. It is a capital mistake to confuse your own incompetance with reality. And I'd advise you against ever citing any newspaper...

The point is that if in fact Jason is highly under-rated,(and the evidence that he was is beyond any reasonable doubt), it is unfair for a player who is playing at his regular strength to lose rating...

Jason's current Vicoria Chess club rating is 1901 after the Jack Taylor memorial. His rating on that system peaked at 1912 after our September fundraiser, in which he turned in a performance of...

Maybe some members in the less populated areas have that, too. Why would we go out of our way to make it hard for them to use the site?

The page took far too long to load on a new computer at my...

Their portfolio page uses teensy tiny fonts that I can barely read and wastes tons of screen space on an irrelevant and annoying graphic. Has six HTML coding errors and 108 CSS coding errors. This...

Oh dear. I'm afraid these are all rather terrible, and replete with bad coding practice with many useability issues.



I am afraid not. Their home page might as well have been written with...

This wouldn't make the ratings any more or any less accurate. Statistically Canada remains isolated from the rest of the chess world and there is nothing in FIDE rating system to keep the Canadian...

Check your local library! Victoria's Central Library has a copy of this book for example.

I have no opinion because I have no reliable data. Nor do I care to find out because I am happy for him to do whatever he likes. Ask him why if you want to know.

In this day of 10 year olds earning IM titles and 12 year olds earning GM titles, I think this is totally unrealistic, not to say chauvanistic.

If there is a conflict between earning a Canadian...
