I´m an abstract board player in heart, but I have taken this year to learn chess. And also I'm a computer geek so I play around with chessprogramma's.
I will use a computerdatabase for the openingsmoves. If my oponent has a rating 200 points stronger then my present rating I will use a computer program to keep it interessing. As long that there is no big difference I keep use of the computer very low.
Tournament Entry Rating is calculated by the formula (CurrentRating + HighestRating) / 2. The entry rating will never drop to more than 100 points below your Highest Rating.
Rated stats are updated within 24 hours of the last completed rated game.
