Chess Scotland Adult Selection Criteria

[Jim Webster]

 
I think that a lot of people seem to underestimate the activity of our top players over the years, particularly with FIDE rated games


Name,  Grade, Fide games played in 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 
 (most recent 6 months of 2017 in brackets)

 Turner, Matthew J (GM) 2545  22(18), 36, 44, 42

 Greet, Andrew N (IM)  2460  25(18), 36, 29, 26

 Bryson, Douglas M (IM) 2345   3(3) 9 8 0

 Abdulla, Murad (FM) 2316  28(23) 46 38 38

..... and given that the proposal is 8 Fide games from 15 played that looks like a pretty strong team could be selected. It also shows who need to get a few more games played to meet the selection criteria Andy is proposing.

By the way these numbers are taken from the FIDE ratings website.

So are the proposals offered by our International Director that onerous?
