Re: World Youth Championships
He could be a new category of chess genius and should be treated that way. I think the ECF should consider funding his development straight away.

Chess Trophy
Anyone know where to buy a nice chess themed school trophy for about £40 - £50 (or even a bit more)? I don't really want a generic one.

Re: The South of England Junior Congress 2019
Thanks Andrew for series of well run tournaments. The Warwickshire contingent had a great time and I'm certain many will return next year.

Re: ECF Grading Database
It's a real pain Have I got this right? 1) GDPR is being used as the reason not to show children's school year on the online list? 2) Showing childrens full name, gender and their school and/or chess club is OK? 3) If you are a top player for your age (school year) it is OK to show your age (or to b...

It's the clumping of these performance swings which are hard to explain.

Re: ECF arbiting at Aberystwyth - FIDE perspective
If you attempt to apply rules designed for serious chess playing adults to U8s these situations are inevitable. If nothing else it gives hope to pedantic parents that they can use the letter of the law to further their child's chess "career". My opinion for what it's worth - make it clear that the s...
