And, I should add to my prior post, that some of the MN4s are actually MN3s.

Fred is still an active member of 'Upper Killay Chess Club', which I believe is near Swansea. His rating details can be found here: http://www.nidumchessclub.co.uk/grading/p26.phpMatt Mackenzie wrote:I believe you are correct in both cases.E Michael White wrote:When E G Sergeant played in the British in 1959 he played against the less well known F Clough and D G Ellison who may turn out to be the English veteran player George Ellison and the Welsh veteran Fred Clough. Both these players played rated games earlier this year and would be M3s.
Of course, George remains active in the Blackpool area chess scene. Fred was a fellow member of Poulton-le-Fylde CC in the 1970s and 80s.
Sorry, I didn't read this until after I'd beaten him. From his age and the way my club mates were speaking of him I'm fairly certain he is the F. Clough in question. I also believe he's a member of the British Correspondence Chess Association if that helps?Frederick Rhine wrote:If when you see him you could confirm whether he is indeed the F.

It was done within an hour of the game actually - they all are. Match cards are sent to the league sec' to update the tables and to the grading officer to update the rating.E Michael White wrote:... and within 10 hours of completion the game is rated by the WCU !

Yes, it is. One of his fellow members at Poulton-le-Fylde confirmed his participation in that particular British Championship (and a few others) back in the 1980s.Frederick Rhine wrote:If when you see him you could confirm whether he is indeed the F.
