Fide Finally rates me!

i finally got a fide rating this ratings period.  I recieved two blocks in the 2007 Sydney International Open and one block in this year's Sydney International Challengers.  Now I need to improve on it! 

 However I am going to maintain my stance that I need to win a U1600 event to proceed to the Open division of that event.... unless my ACF rating goes above 1600.  I need to break that barrier first, even if its slow and steady.

 Tonight I shall start preparations as to what lines i want to play at the Adelaide Freytag Checkmate! Challengers tournament. I'm looking forward to this tournament
