Re: AGON "under probation"
Thanks, it would be interesting to know which Directors received the most questions
Any postings on here represent my personal views

Re: AGON "under probation"
Looking through my e-mails, I've received 4 questions. Interestingly for me, two of them were from people who haven't posted on the Forums, and who I hadn't come across at tournaments before. I think that is a positive.

Re: AGON "under probation"
I'm sure we could publish the figures giving a few details. It'd probably be misleading to put up numbers of questions for each director just yet as the numbers we have are too small to draw any statistically significant conclusions. Of course, we may have had an absolute deluge in the last 10 days or so which would make a difference, but I think I would have heard if that has been the case!Mick Norris wrote:Thanks, it would be interesting to know which Directors received the most questions

Or it could be a load of old Bank Holiday nonsense. This link is for the official statement on the matter of New York.Paolo Casaschi wrote:There's rumors about Agon failing to find sponsors for the match in New York and pressure to move the world championship to Russia. This might be the first formal step of FIDE in that direction.

But can you confirm or deny that if one of the games starts 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 and someone encloses these in pgn tags and posts on this forum "yet another Berlin"Andrew Murray-Watson wrote: Or it could be a load of old Bank Holiday nonsense.
that this will be in Agon's view an infringement on Agon's supposed monopoly?

Re: AGON "under probation"
The AGON website is not my idea of a definitive source of information.
"Do you play chess?"
"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."

Re: AGON "under probation"
Now that the 4NCL weekend is over we look forward to receiving your Ask The Directors question.The ECF have introduced a "ask the director" feature to replace their forum. I might be inclined to rattle Malcolm's cage on this.

This conversation is few weeks old.Roger de Coverly wrote:I'm waiting to see if "Ask the Director" is anything other than window dressing. If it has a value, it perhaps will be necessary to ask whether a course of action can become official ECF policy.NickFaulks wrote: That's my point. As we've seen lately, having the FIDE Delegate express an opinion does not make it official ECF policy.
Did you ask the question and what was the answer?

Re: AGON "under probation"
It doesn't become topical until the next FIDE meetings at the Olympiad. For that matter, I'm still waiting to see the first "Ask the Director" and its response on the ECF website.Paolo Casaschi wrote: Did you ask the question and what was the answer?
The other question is why we cannot have our rating history back, without giving false interest to FIDE's online chess project.
