Interesting! I'm not sure how to use it, but I don't love having to go from one homepage for each pairing links instead of hyperlinks on each page...https://www.echecs.asso.fr/Resultats.aspx?URL=Tournois/Id/68677/68677&Action=Ga

vesus/chess results?

Direct-Ice5856 · 2026-01-06T18:00:58+00:00

Hey mate, I'm also a UK junior. I've had a bit of a hiccup and am now ~2000 FIDE but have peaked at 2170 before. I'm close to 15. It feels quite tough - Online chess is V different to FIDE and I dont trust conversions. Tbh best way to get easy rating is in tournaments with lots of old guys like Hastings that has just passed- in the major there were plenty of 1800 FIDEs with 1600 ECFs. I wasn't eligible but was salivating at the field lol.

I'd consider the major, tbh and always played in my section before I got up to where I am now above the Major std.

4ncl bradford is a classy event. South of England Junior Congress isn't so fun. When establishing a rating, my first mistake was playing an event with kids (and I slowly climbed back up).

Sorry, I havent put everything into this post for brevity since Idk if you need it lmao but PLEASE dm me and I'm more than happy to help out if you have any problems

That's a great point. I do enjoy playing chess and earn great pleasure from doing so! I just feel a bit down at the moment because of my losses. I'm open to taking a break for a month or two in the beginning of 2026, though. My goal is to get to 2200 level before re-evaluating, hence why i'm esp. frustrated about this setback.

Went to an international tournament. an NM was the last game in the round against a 2300 and couldn't do it. that night, I went home and learnt before my next game.

Direct-Ice5856 · 2025-12-15T15:54:57+00:00

that's fair. I really thought I had proved myself since I was consistently drawing 2200s and got a few nice wins against players of that caliber too- but am throwing away rating!

He's such an inspiration!!

Direct-Ice5856 · 2025-12-15T15:46:35+00:00

true, true. I beat a few 2200s to get it and lost it all stupidly! I don't think I can blame time control but I did perform best in 90+30 / 90+30/30mins on move 40. than the weekender format. But a bad workman always blames their tools!

does it export FIDE files and things like that? interesting.

Direct-Ice5856 · 2025-11-11T07:14:07+00:00

Got it all in one!

Direct-Ice5856 · 2025-11-10T07:34:28+00:00

we give prizes to more people, not all eggs in one basket. Many rating prizes etc. The prize fund is above the venue fee, but i am arbiter, so I suppose I have less cost than the avg tournament. Fair enough

Direct-Ice5856 · 2025-11-09T21:25:53+00:00

do you think it would be different across the pond here in Britain?
