With a lot of talk on the site about Fide ratings, I was wondering when some comment on FIDE's latest scheme would be forthcoming from CS. I notice that Alex McFarlane has posted about this on the ECF, but nothing here.

"REGULATIONS ON REGISTRATION & LICENSING OF PLAYERS
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fide.com/images/stories/NEWS">http://www.fide.com/images/stories/NEWS</a><!-- m --> ... layers.pdf
Approved by 2013 Presidential Board
1. All Players shall be required to register with their National Chess Federations (NCF). The
FIDE Regulations on Registration, Transfers and Eligibility shall apply.
2. The NCF (or FIDE) shall issue the FIDE ID Number if the Player does not have one at
the time of registration. NCF will register the Player with FIDE by providing
information containing the Player’s Name, Gender, Place & Year of Birth, Photo,
Passport Number; FIDE ID Number (if any).
3. FIDE/NCF shall issue the Player with a Player ID Card bearing the information from
Rule 2 above.All information shall be maintained in the List of FIDE Licensed Players.
4. A Player who registers to compete in any FIDE rated competition shall be required to
provide his FIDE ID Number.
5. An Organizer receiving any registration must refer to the List of FIDE Licensed Players
before accepting the registration.
6. If an Organizer inadvertently accepted a Player without a valid License, the Organizer
shall be penalized 50 Euro for every infringement. Such Players shall not have a FIDE ID
Number and shall have no Federation Flag.
7. Games played by Players without a valid License shall not count for rating for
themselves. Games played against them by Licensed Players shall be counted.
8. A NCF may subsequently (during or after the competition) register the Player mentioned
in Rules 8 & 9 above provided a Late Payment Fee of 50 Euro is paid.
9. Players without a License cannot play in any official FIDE or Continental competition.
10. For each time a player who has been delisted by his NCF and subsequently re-listed, the
payment is 20 Euro."
Is this an attempt at a money maker, or are we going to see the removal of the licence of players who play in 'unauthorised ' events?
