COPIED FROM COVENTRY CHESS CLUB BLOG 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 RugbyChess Club members page:
http://www.ecfgrading.org.uk/?club=Rugby
Make sure that you note what the scale is when looking at progress.

Nice game Jamie !
The A team had some overdue success on Tuesday beating Nuneaton B by 3.5 to 0.5
Our B team lost to Nuneaton A by the same score however !
I am not sure how the C team ended but I do know that Jamie Kearney had another delightful looking win which had a piece for 2 pawn sacrifice early on! I hope Phil has the time to post it on this blog if he can !

Continuing my photos in chess series ...
Here is one which I took of Rajan Parekh, Coventry F Board 1 player (current Warwickshire age-related champ) who was playing at Rugby last night. He and Jim MacDonald agreed a draw just after this photo was taken.
In case you were wondering how the rest of Rugby D did, Nicola continued her winning steak with a win. I continued my own streak and lost. But to such a nice man (Clive Osman). Roy was still playing when I slunk out.

Live blogging from University - just showing off here
Well Rugby D have all the gadgets :-) - which is just as well because Chris needs something to occupy her when she once again crashes and burns. But I thought that I would give you a snapshot of the action as it happens. Vs. University D Chris loses to a canny player Cerden Micher on board 3, following Joe Oswell's convincing win against David Noyvert.
Things are looking promising on Board 1 for Jim MacDonald against female player Mary Kairatkyzy (yes, yet more female players in the league now). Roy Talbot vs Jose Garcia looks like a close match but Jose has just refused a draw so its not _that_ close. Another match with everything to play for from Team D. Trying to load a sneaky picture of men at work ... no flash so as not to interrupt play.
Meanwhile the B team after one game (Martin Wilson vs. A Rysbagen) are still hard at play. Fingers crossed for everyone.
PS. Joe and Roy can recommend the local brew Duck Soup Ale, only brewed exclusively for the Warwick Student Union.

KO Cup : Rug C vs Cov A 3-Jan-2012
It was always going to be a tough match for Rugby C against Coventry A in the KO cup and Coventry were victorious despite their 1.25 pt handicap, but Jamie very much enjoyed his match against Ed Goodwin (even though Fritz would have played differently).
