Re: November 2016 FIDE rating list
PS It is my understanding that the expression of interest can me made and withdrawn before the selection takes place without any impact on future selection, but as I don't think the actual selection date is in the policy I don't think that works so well as a concept.

Paul Cooksey >I know Adams continued to play in school events
Michael only attended school for ONE day in the Upper 6th. He became a professional chess player in August at 16 after completing O Levels.
What amazes me is that, as far as I know, our leading players have not been consulted on what they think should be done.
Our huge success in the 1980s to 1990s was a statistical quirk which could not not be expected to be continued.
David Robertson's suggestion for a group to discuss the problems has merit as has Leonard's of a manager for elite development. Of course there is the problem that some would regard creating such posts as a problem sorted.
