Anyone know why they only appear to be showing half the games?

Platinum membership is largely designed for the same purpose. Perhaps that should be better promoted.

Hi David

Is it promoted at all? Your post was the first I had heard of it, though I admit I'm an infrequent visitor to the ECF website these days.

Who is Kyrgios?

Hi Simon - is it a good thing that large multinational corporations are allowed to get away with low ethical standards? Most sensible people would say that forcing people to work in inhumane conditions, diverting local water supplies to service bottling plants etc was not a good thing! This is a fi...

Hi Nigel, clearly it's a good thing, I doubt anyone sensible thinks otherwise. Can you elaborate on the nuance of "Cooperation Agreement" and not "Sponsorship"?

BBC website asking for "Surprising cricket fans" and good to see Richard James pitching in with Peter Svidler at 12.35 on the live cricket commentary!

Richard just got that wrong. I was International Director at the time until I resigned in late 1995, I supported Chris and played in the league. I certainly didn't try to set up a rival league, and I don't recall anyone in the BCF trying to do so.

Richard got it wrong as well.

BCF tried to destroy the 4NCL when it started - for some reason they failed.

Nonsense.

I read it that he had compared his bid to the criteria in the tender document and concluded that he met just about all the criteria, hence the "100% points".

A word of warning to those watching on Chessbomb or the live games on the website; even now the result is showing as a 2½ - 1½ victory for Finland and I left work yesterday wondering why John and Chris were playing so poorly. I'm still not sure which game is which.

So much for the conspiracy theory!

Mike Ian beat me to it, and I would add, as an infrequent visitor to the site 1. The home page is far too busy. I'm currently looking at a 17" screen and can see only half of it before scrolling down. On a phone or iPad, barely 10% of it. 2. It isn't intuitive. There are two banks of links at the to...

The ECF site is awful these days. Hard to find anything anywhere. Eg, not that it means anything, but I challenge anyone to find the latest Grand Prix leaderboards in less than 15 minutes. I managed it in 2 - 3 minutes, discovering that you are currently in second place. Well I didn't. Gave up afte...
