Mine is 122, it would be good to hear what yours are.

dont know what ecf is

English chess grade.

 Dude, seriously?

mine's about 140 after 6 games

11th aug 2009 - 10th april 2010  

Bit of a bumb isn't it?   in anycase, my 7.5/8 = 167

You're only down as playing 3 games on www.chessnuts.org Dave.

Or even www.chessnuts.org.uk

I think the ecf ratings make no sense to anyone but the members of the ecf , like the old German ingo zahl ratings. Mine used to be 97 and made no sense to me or anyone else except maybe the Germans ? When will you blokes get with the rest of the world and have ELO ratings ?  I think it would help chess for there to be one rating system used by all.....   don't you ?

given that there is a formula to convert ECF to FIDE, I'm not convinced that the UK having its own little system is a big problem. With that said, I do belive the ECF is investigating the pro & cons of a change over.

ECF x 8 + 650 = FIDE
(FIDE - 650) / 8 = ECF

I had a grade 10 years ago (wasn't it BCF then?) where's it gone?

For some reason everyones ECF grade seemed to be bumped up by 20 points this year. Anyone know if there was a reason for  that?

152 - not bad for a 13-year old

 Who is 13 ?

I had a BCF grade back in the 1980s (1985 was the last year I played in an OTB tournament) and as far as I recall it was 200ish. Seems to have vanished into the ether since the other bits of Britain declared chess independence.
