It used to be that every internet discussion inevitably ended up being about Nazism. But I think we are doomed to covid for the time being.
There is more I wanted to discuss about ECF strategy. Maybe later.
Probably a new thread needed Paul

Andrew Zigmond asked --- Are the current office staff non players? The name of the best known office member is taken twice in the database and the most likely candidate has a respectable enough grade of 163.
If that's the name Andrew Walker (best-known?) it's me and I am a non-player
If that's Gary Willson (more likely), Gary is 1570 on the new rating database.
That's the office, anyway ...

You don't have to be a non-player.

Andrew Walker (the one with the 163 grade) plays for the Ashfield 4NCL team. Forum members might like to read this:-

They should try to clean up their act also. A few months back I heard the ECF was facing a 10 year ban from FIDE on account that too many members play daft openings all too often.
