Hi guys, if you want to know what your grade is in USCF just add 100 to the Elo grade and it's about right.

The ECF have a new formula to convert a Grade into Elo;

(ECF x 5) + 1250 = FIDE

Personally  I think it's wrong but thats what the ECF have come up with.

Hi Magic, thx for that. So if a person is graded 100 ECF then in Elo it's 1750? Wow now that is a wee bit on the high side. Whereas in the old system it would be 1400 a difference of 350.
