ECF Ratings The English Chess Federation issue a players' rating list every month. However, due to league competitions taking place over several months, the ratings used to establish a player's standard for the entire competition are geneally those issued in July, just prior to the commencment of the season. For other events ie weekend congresses the organisers usually specify which month's ratings are to be used for seeding and match pairing purposes. The English Chess Federation have now revised their grading system so that a player's grade will now be shown as a four-figure number. Furthermore the list wil be updated every month. However, although such frequent changes will give a more accurate assessment of a player's current standing for when competing as an individual in congresses, most local leagues will probably maintain the current format of teams being selected throughout the season on the bassis of their players' grades at the start of that particular competition ie: the July grades prior to the start of the season.

Chess definitely can still be fun without them, but they are useful. Ratings are there because there are situations where using them can improve the chess playing experience. It helps that FIDE, the world body uses this system. While there are differences, people only have to familiarise themselves with one process. The ECF wants to support all its members. FIDE does not rate all results: excluding some games against new players, those players with too low a rating and games that do not meet the full rules of chess. FIDE discard results against unrated players, so why complicate by attempting to rate such results? The ECF has decided that as many games as possible should be rated. This recognises that the system is aimed at serious recreational rather than elite chess. There will always be differences since games played under each jurisdiction are different and the systems are not identical. There is no ideal fit, but the ECF recommends:.

In , I wrote an article aimed at helping people get involved in over-the-board OTB chess. The article was well-received, but only covered how to play an OTB game. It did not talk about wider matters like ratings, tournaments and events. We get a lot of questions about those, so I decided to write this follow-up! In this article, I try to cover the information which is most important for people new to playing rated chess events in England. If you intend to play rated chess in England — either at a club like Hendon or in tournaments — you should probably be an ECF member. The level of ECF membership you should get depends on the types of event you want to play in. For example, FIDE-rated tournaments except blitz require higher levels.
