As per the recent mail from the ECF, there are at least two pertinent issues:-
- There is an appeal for ecf membership renewal. All sporting organisations are struggling and the Federation is no exception and needs your support!
- There is a new rating system, compatible with international FIDE ratings. It seems quite good and I believe the idea is to update monthly (if we ever play serious chess again!).
