FIDE Rating - January 2013 |

FIDE have changed the file format of their monthly rating lists. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ratings.fide.com/download.phtml">http://ratings.fide.com/download.phtml</a><!-- m -->
This file is used to record latest FIDE ratings in the CS program and also to create the latest Scot FIDE rating page <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://chessscotland.com/grading/displayLatestFide.php">http://chessscotland.com/grading/displayLatestFide.php</a><!-- m -->
So we have a delay to displaying the January 1 ratings until CS systems are adapted to deal with the new format.
Meanwhile Jan 1 FIDE rating data (ie events which took place in December) has not been affected by the change and has been imported into the domestic records of all CS members - these will appear on the next upload scheduled for Jan 9.

Peacefully at home with his family on 30 December, David, much loved and loving husband of Chris, and the late Jean, father of Penny, Duncan, Adrian, Paul, Iain and Douglas. He was a much loved Grandpa, who adored his grandchildren, Kirsty, Lewis, Laura, Anna, Lauren and Andrew, and he was a good friend to all his extended family. There will be a service of celebration of David’s life at St Mary’s Church, Dalmahoy, on Saturday 5th January at 2.30 pm to which all friends are warmly invited, bright colours will be welcome.
David was a very well known and popular player around the congresses and a regular participant in the Edinburgh Chess Leagues. Not only was David a very active player, he made a huge contribution as an administrator both at his own Balerno Chess Club and in organising Chess Edinburgh Congresses over many years.
David will be sadly missed by all of us.

I sincerely hope that 2013 will be a better year for all in Scottish chess. I hope there are no arguments or falling out on the forum, I hope that people will try and get along with each other. If we can achieve this then chess will benefit and remember we are all a part of the chess community. =)

We have cancelled the Dundee Allegro intended for next May.
Next year’s Congress will take place 11 – 13 October at the usual venue

I would just like to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
I hope you have a happy time with your family -- no fights over the turkey (or anything else please)
All the best for 2013. May only nice things come your way.
GG
