Change active ratings any way you want, just don't change my regular rating if I play in game/60 or less.
I will organize tons of active events, I just won't rate them. There is no value in it....
What I am saying is that I wouldn't want a g/60 or less to affect regular ratings. I couldn't care less if you adjusted the active and regular rating with game/90 because active ratings serve no...
I have no problem with the CFC having active ratings, some people will use them. At our club, we decided not to rate active events any longer as the ratings were not very accurate. In other...
I see no advantage changing anything, just a waste of time really. If anything, just get rid of active ratings, they serve no purpose.
People who have both CFC and FIDE ratings take their FIDE rating more seriously. The only care about their CFC rating mostly for qualification purporses. Totally different then the joke CFC Active...
Why would you do that? I for one wouldn't play in any event that was rated under both systems. Also, you just created extra work for the CFC office. What is the benefit of doing something like that?
I know we wouldn't pay to have speed tournaments rated at the Calgary Chess Club. Recently, we stopped rating Active events as well. The active ratings are so far out of wack that we just have an...
The organizing committee of the Calgary International Chess Classic would like to announce that on behalf of the Calgary Chess Club, the ACA has signed an agreement with Calgary Arts Development over...
Well, tell me Chris, how much did the previous editors get paid? Contributors are getting about the same amount as when Knut was editor many years ago. Should they be getting less then they got 5 or...
23 players in all, not 14.
I have to confess I didn't read his proposal from top to bottom and was responding more to emails I had received from him.
If the CFC was to go this route, they would lose many many members. If...
[QUOTE=roger patterson;13135]well, I suppose if I can't find a local club that wants to become affiliated (the Victoria Chess club would not) and I want to play tournament chess then I can always...
US FM Michael Langer has joined the hunt for an IM norm at the Calgary International this year. We should have some more news in the next few days about other players joining the International...

The Calgary Chess Club held a meeting tonight and approved a budget for the Calgary International. Dates will be May 19-23 and the format for the
international section will be a 10 player round...
Regarding the $200 fee, I have a question. In Alberta, we normally hold regional qualifiers, the winners then attend the Alberta Youth Chess Championship. Since the regional qualifiers do not qualify...
What Canadian organizer did they do an article on?
Anyone wanting an advance copy, email me.

I have no interest in naming anyone into the event. I think it should be done by some sort of established criteria. It would be good to have the rr format as an option in my opinion.
The whole...
Hi Bob,
I started the thread on chesstalk. The question as Chris points out is hypothetical, for interest sake only. I don't think there is any danger in discussing this topic. As a matter of...
