Re: The July 2015 Grading List
Early props would appear to go to Sam Chow, whose 16/18 for his first grade places him well into system-breaking territory.

Re: Carlsen - Anand 2014
I would also be tempted to include Rapport as someone who could challenge Carlsen but may not get into the Candidates.

Re: Media comments on chess
But why would that mean that it didn't have to follow the standard rules? I don't understand.

Re: European Individual Chess Championship 2015 (Jerusalem)
It will be interesting to see if any players align themselves with the BDS movement regarding Israel and refuse to play. I think it's unlikely, but definitely possible.

Re: Carlsen - Anand 2014
I really don't like b5. But then, I have no idea what else to do in that position.

Re: Board minutes
I believe that most of the outstanding minutes, or at least those that I originally produced the draft of, will be finally cleared up at the next board meeting. The exception to that may be the meeting at Birmingham before the AGM, since I have been ill recently and that delayed my production of a f...

Re: Board minutes
I'm really puzzled what the continuing difficulties can now be. Council took careful note of the sound advice recently given to it:: When Council elects an incomplete Board (as in 2012-13 with no chief executive), or a non-collegial Board (as evidenced in early 2014) or a Board comprised of good pe...

Re: PGN Technical question
I always record draw offers, though to me this is to show that I've heard the offer as much as to have it noted for future reference.

Re: PGN Technical question
I don't think they're regularly used in published games either, which is probably also due more to tradition than conscious decision.
