Grading Database UpDate
Mike Johnson has discovered that now on the ECF Grading Database, if you click on your "ref number" next to your name you now get a lot of very useful data on your chess playing career.
When you click on your ref no you have four tabs:- Profile, Standard Games, Rapid Games and Grade progress.
For example if you click on the "Standard Games" tab and select a year from the drop down menu you can see a list of your results for that particular year and if you scroll down to the bottom of the page it is even presented in a Pie chart format!
Click on the "Grade Progress" tab and you can see the progress (or lack of!!) of your grade in a graphical format since 1994.
Its well worth a look. Here is the link to Coventry Chess Club members page:

Of course, you can also search other clubs on the database.

League results and tables
Does anybody reading this know of any recent results, or up to date league tables from Div 1 ?
The obvious answer is to look on the new Coventry chess league website, but unless i'm losing the plot, the most up-to-date results seem to be partial results from the 25th Oct.

Bobby Fischer
At 9pm on Wednesday 30th November BBC 4 9pm Storyville there is an analysis of Bobby Fischers life.
May be worth a watch as it is unusual for chess to even get a mention on any TV programme.
