Latest Tournament Grading Results

The Tournament Grading Page is the main body of the grading section, and is essentially an index to all graded events processed during the season, sorted into appropriate categories with links to the individual event.  The Check List of Graded Events is a "live" unsorted list of every uploaded event from the grading computer this season. League grading data appears in both the above lists with more detailed information available at the specialist League Page

An archive of all grading data since 1997 is also retained. We welcome any feedback on possible errors in the online data. Comments will be acknowledged and a correction made if appropriate - please email grading@chessscotland.com

about the grading systen
The Scottish Grading system attempts to give an accurate measure of a player's strength, based purely on results. In this introduction to the system, the Chief Grader explains the basic theory behind the system, and shows you how to calculate your grade. A subsection to the article deals with games played outwith Scotland.

And just to help you along, you can download a free Excel grading calculator devised by Alex Clark of Dundee.

Area Grader Information

Grading data is submitted by Congress organisers, League and Club secretaries around Scotland. These "Area Graders" collate the data in computer format. The data is then submitted to Chess Scotland for processing. The latest versions of the Area Grading Program are posted here. The file is updated once a week with new players.
