ECF Ratings July 2016

The new grades for the English Chess Federation have recently been published.

Every 6 months all results of games played in rated events such as the Mid Sussex Chess Lerague and Sussex Junior Chess tournaments are submitted to the database and players are given a performance rating for the last 12 months or last 30 games.

There are two grades calculated one for standard play games normally 2+ hours playing sessions and rapidplay games which are normally about 1 hour playing sessions.

If player A has a grade 10 higher than Player B then this indicates that if the players had played in the past 12 months then player A would have won 60% of the time and if 20 points difference then 70% of the time and so on. What it does not mean is that if you play a higher graded player now that you will lose.

Here is a list of club members who have an ECF grade in the July 2016 list.
