    I'm looking forward to hearing about the barriers to entry created by imperfections in the rating system. This is the first time I have heard about it.

    I am willing to stand again for the position of Womens' Coordinator.

    I am willing to stand as an FQE VM, knowing that the election to any CFC office would vacate this position.

    I am willing to stand for Director at Large.

    As I have already stated, I am willing to stand again as an NAC member.

    Hi Chess Friends,
    After last week's Zoom meeting, I had the chance to communicate with some members. Thank you to those who managed to attend. And thank you to those who reached out.
    In a few days, I will post here a second ZOOM invitation for all voting members to attend. I welcome, encourage and appreciate your participation.
    Thank You
    MH

    Hello all,

    I'm still humbly offering to continue my implication on the NAC as well.

    I feel that the Rating Auditor’s primary goal is to protect the integrity of the CFC’s most valuable asset, the Regular ratings.
    If re-elected, I will not change the K factor as I believe that the rating bonus formula performs the function of identifying and rewarding strong results.
    I will not introduce rating floors. I believe they are artificial and distort the correct allocation of rating points. I do not believe there is a problem with players intentionally losing games to lower their ratings.
    I will not support a change to the maximum number of Regular rated games to be played in a single day. This is just not serious chess and is more appropriately rated as Quick chess.
    The CFC Regular rating system has been in equilibrium since the introduction of the bonus point formula in 2012. If needed, there is provision to make adjustments to the bonus formula to counter inflation or deflation. This has not been necessary up to now.
