This question has been answered in another thread. There is also an announcement on the ECF website, of limited use admittedly since it disappeared from the front page some time ago. See http://www.englishchess.org.uk/index.ph ... s&catid=47.

My attitude of drinking etc at the board cost me my aim, so I guess giving that up is first lesson

Do the rest of us who use this forum have anything to be disappointed about in the new grades?

I don't know about anyone else, but I have a certain stereotypical image of chess players.

So when I see a certain type of opponent, I think "wow, he must be good".

Which may explain my appalling record vs players younger than me (=1 -2). :oops:

Exactly. :P

Maybe I should start wearing mine.

Plus, I may see the board better as well. :roll:

Well I had very unofficially heard that Callum Kilpatrick came out as 243 and Felix Ynojosa as 237, which although they are very promising, is patently ludicrous. After all, I beat them both reasonably recently, and I'm a patzer! Whoever dreamt up these new grades was living out a Hieronymus Bosch type of reality, either that or they were on the wacky.
