Online Grading Service

The online grading service for Chess Scotland members was created by programmer Alex Bisset of Aberdeen in 2001. The highlight of the system is the opportunity to check your latest grade online anytime during the season. Simply type in your grading PNUM which you can find in the printed grading list or the member checklist. Join Chess Scotland now and see how your grade is calculated.

Outside data and vistors: Some players have indicated they are not aware of the changes made to the conversion factor to be applied between ECF and CS grades. We now process ECF grades using the revised formula ECF*10+180= CS. See outside grade page for a discussion on the reasons why we believe a change was required.

FIDE rated games are now imported automatically using a spreadsheet supplied by FIDE every two months.

CS Members: New members should usually be able to access the online grading system on the first Wednesday after their membership has been processed. The online grading page indicates the date when grades have last been uploaded.

Non CS members: Non member adult players with over 10 games in a season cannot see latest grade in the ranking pages. However club lists and top player lists etc can be resorted by clicking the column called Published Grade and all start of season grades are displayed for all players - member or non member. Non member new adult grades appear as xxxx.

Club Lists: You can view all the members of your club by using the drop down menu on the right hand side of the online lookup page. The facility gives a default view of the latest grades of the first 100 players with a particular first club code. NB: The second club code is ignored. Non members may not be visible - see explanation above.

Area Graders: If you want to supply grading data please see the Area Grader page. Thanks to all area graders, clubs, congress officials, and individuals who compile grading data. Thanks to programmer Gordon Rattray.

ECF Lookup: The English Chess Federation online database. To convert ECF grades to CS multiply by 10 and add 180. (This is our new conversion formula from August 1, 2009).
