Should the Richardson Cup be FIDE rated?
#24
I am a bit hungover after the office party last night - was first up on the karaoke.

Unlikely I will play Edinburgh FIDE rated. Foreign tournaments are more interesting. This would apply to most titled players too.

It's like the same sex marriage debate - it's about definitions. Should the ELO rating system apply to national as well as international events ?

In the 1980's the Scottish Championship was a 7 round swiss and was not ELO rated. It was only when the 9 round format with title norms was introduced that it became ELO rated.

It is not clear why some weekend tournaments are ELO-rated and some not.
