  • WHAT: A race to gain the most CFC rating points in your Class in the calendar year
  • WHY: Fun and some recognition for those CFC chess players who have improved the most (as measured by their CFC regular rating).
  • HOW:
    • The race uses CFC regular ratings from the TD list published weekly on the CFC website.
    • Players are grouped into Classes according to their CFC regular rating on Jan 1.
    • Players remain in their starting Class for the entire calendar year even if their rating increases into a higher Class.
    • Unfortunately, players who start mid-year are excluded. The current process for calculating the standings cannot handle these players (yet).
    • Each month the Top 20 rating point gainers for each Class will be announced on the CFC Forums. Follow along throughout the year as players race to gain the most improved rating.
    • At the end of the year, the Top 20 will be declared the "most improved" within their starting Class.
    • Prizes: $0.00 + bragging rights + recognition for your chess success!
