Re: Another new IM
James lost in the last round today but he said he has gained enough points.

Re: Another new IM
I was pretty sure it was achieved by 0.4 points; but I was just thinking to get an extra point to be on the safe side because of the rounding effects which may have been in place (or not)Nick Burrows wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 8:06 pmI thought you yourself said it was uncertain?Alan Walton wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 11:06 amIt very simple really; just put the round by round results into the FIDE rating calculator; and hey bingo it gives you your answer
But you could have easily checked this yourself using the calculator

Re: Another new IM
Following Southend at Easter, his rating on the latest list is 2413 (See https://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?event=415804), so ratification of the IM title is presumably now just a formality at the next relevant FIDE meeting.Jonathan Rogers wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 9:53 amTo be confirmed, etc etc, but Matthew Wadsworth had three valid norms when, rated 2396, he beat Andrew Ledger on Saturday at 4NCL, so he can certainly be called IM-elect with some confidence until his title is ratified. (He seems to be playing closer to 2450+ level right now).
And today's win at the 4NCL means he has also just secured his first GM norm (subject to formal confirmation). Can't help being very proud, and somewhat in awe, of him.

There is still paperwork to be done, but I know that David Clayton has this in hand.Jim Wadsworth wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2019 6:34 pmFollowing Southend at Easter, his rating on the latest list is 2413 (See https://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?event=415804), so ratification of the IM title is presumably now just a formality at the next relevant FIDE meeting.

Re: Another new IM
Many congratulations to Matthew on the GM norm. I have to admit that him getting the IM title seems a bit unremarkable, because he has been at that level for quite a while.
Also I saw on Twitter:
