Well, if that's the only reason they have then that's frankly pathetic! Barnaure lost to Alan Tate (I know cos I was there) but neither Alan nor Neil are the '2000 opponents' alluded to previously.

There have been players representing Scotland (chosen primarily based on FIDE ratings) having had no FIDE-rated activity in the previous 4 years (at least). Preserving a FIDE-rating by not playing any rated events just so you can represent your country seems wrong to me.
