Re: Scottish Blitz 2013 - amuir - 05-03-2013 Can we clarify the FIDE ratings please ? Will my actual FIDE rating of 2325 be put on the line if I play or will it be my blitz FIDE rating ? Where do I find a list of the top Scots blitz FIDE ratings (e.g. those over 2200) ? Is 3+2 now accepted blitz time instead of 5 mins ? Re: Scottish Blitz 2013 - Alex McFarlane - 05-03-2013 Andy, There is no way your standard play rating will be affected by blitz or rapidplay (allegro) events. Blitz ratings. (Search for all Scots and put in spreadsheet to sort) McNab, Colin A GM 2438 Greet, Andrew N IM 2425 Shaw, John GM 2417 Arakhamia-Grant, Ketevan GM WGM 2390 Burns-Mannion, Stephen R IM 2332 Berry, Neil FM 2332 Bryson, Douglas M IM 2330 Muir, Andrew J IM 2284 Bathie, Nicol 2270 MacQueen, Calum 2246 Jamieson, Peter M FM 2206 Bremner, Adam 2195 Burnett, Andrew 2183 Sreeves, Clement 2176 Green, Andrew D 2161 Edwards, Jonathan 2160 Neave, George 2109 Bamber, Elaine WF WF 2109 Rutherford, William 2101 Olson, Hamish 2081 Kafka, Graeme 2072 Abdulla, Murad 2061 Rocks, Daniel 2058 McClement, Andrew 2051 Coleman, Robbie 2049 Brechin, Hugh R 2042 Burnett, Walter 2036 Maxwell, Daniel 2026 Oswald, David C 2014 O`Neil, Jim 1991 Doyle, James 1978 Grove, Michael 1952 Walker, Duncan 1938 Mcgregor, Lindsay A 1938 McDonald, Ian 1926 Ridge, Michael 1925 Robertson, David A 1910 McLean, Ian 1908 Murdochy, Shivan 1887 Allan, Brian 1865 Dunlop, Anthony 1832 Jelfs, Alan 1826 Roy, Ali 1821 Deary, David 1816 Newton, Andrew 1813 Gregory, Sam 1794 McHarg, Andrew 1756 Chapman, Nigel 1736 McDonald, Maryann 1603 Milton, Anna 1475 FIDE still only allows you to sort on standard rating on its website. (Do advance search for SCO) Increments is becoming more popular for all chess events. This is particularly true for blitz where K+2N v K will be agreed a draw with increments but one player may play on with a fixed time. 3min +2 secs gives a better/fairer outcome where a good player is allowed to demonstrate his/her ability. Re: Scottish Blitz 2013 - Jonathan Edwards - 05-03-2013 That's entries now open for the Scottish Blitz. Tournament details on the website along with online entry. Re: Scottish Blitz 2013 - Jonathan Edwards - 06-03-2013 Skyscanner have become gold sponsors via Kickstarter. Almost 60% of the £1000 goal has now been pledged - thanks to everyone who has donated so far! There's 16 days left to reach the £1000. Re: Scottish Blitz 2013 - Calum MacQueen - 16-03-2013 Only one week left until the kickstarter page closes. Just to confirm, the money won't be taken out of anyone's account if the goal isn't reached. This means if people don't give the odd 10er then Jonny will get none of the donations and the event is in danger of making a loss. If people want to see this fun format run again in one of the nicest venues in Scotland then only another £190 is needed. Re: Scottish Blitz 2013 - Hugh Brechin - 17-03-2013 Looks like the target's been reached now...

I would like to thank everyone who has donated... the support has been amazing once again - Kickstarter page is open for another 5 days for anyone else who wishes to donate. =) First Grandmaster to enter is Keith Arkell. A confirmed prize fund can now be found on the website. Re: Scottish Blitz 2013 - Jonathan Edwards - 22-03-2013 Unfortunately, a pledge has been removed from the Kickstarter page so now the total is slightly short of the amount needed ![]() Re: Scottish Blitz 2013 - Andrew McHarg - 25-03-2013 Has it been reached again Jonathan. I'm seeing £1026 raised of £1000 target... or am I missing something? ![]() Re: Scottish Blitz 2013 - D-Oswald - 25-03-2013 its was 24 pounds short, but within 5 hours after Jonnys post the total was surpassed - tremendous support |
