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?

TwoMove

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?
