At the AGM I tried to ask about what position CS should be taking regarding the FIDE Arena enterprise, but I received rather short shrift. At that time FIDE rating of Arena games as OTB play was already being discussed.
From the ECF we have the following interesting thread <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ecforum.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7895">http://www.ecforum.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7895</a><!-- m -->
Several points are raised, some of which CS previously discussed under the heading of 'Remote Participation'.
If players were reluctant to risk their CS grades in 'Remote Participation', and they were, how likely is it that they will risk their FIDE rating? Indeed, how will people regard FIDE ratings obtained through FOA play?
