300 ECF Grade
I was looking at the top players list on the ECF grading list and noticed that Ian Nepomniatchi has an ECF grade of 299.
Has anybody ever surpassed 300 ECF grade?

Re: 300 ECF Grade
if Carlsen (295) - Caruana (290) is ECF graded one of them has an excellent chance to get to 300
Also, I am offering £100 to the charity of choice of anyone who asks Magnus about being number 2 on the ECF grading list in a World Championship press conference

However, it probably won't be ECF graded, as the match is not being held under ECF auspices.Paul Cooksey wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 12:15 pmIf Carlsen (295) - Caruana (290) is ECF graded one of them has an excellent chance to get to 300.

Re: 300 ECF Grade
The London Candidates is a precedent. Looking up Svidler's history as a test case, he has an inactive ECF grade, but that's from his appearances in Gibraltar.David Sedgwick wrote: ↑Fri Nov 16, 2018 1:26 pmHowever, it probably won't be ECF graded, as the match is not being held under ECF auspices.

Re: 300 ECF Grade
No, but there are special provisions for major FIDE events. The Candidates Tournament 2013, aforementioned, was only registered when it was almost over.
On that occasion I offered to arrange for the ECF to do the registration and the rating if FIDE would agree not to charge us any fee. FIDE declined, so they had to do everything themselves.

Re: 300 ECF Grade
Carlsen and Caruana are so close in rating that the five draws so far have resulted in zero changes to their live ratings. I do hope they won't draw all 12 games. That wouldn't be good!

If I had 5 years, 30 novice opponents, and traded away all respect as a chess player I'm pretty confident I could get a 300 rating....Andrew Bak wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 10:54 pmI was looking at the top players list on the ECF grading list and noticed that Ian Nepomniatchi has an ECF grade of 299.

Lose one queen and it is a disaster, Lose 1000 queens and it is just a statistic.
