If you want to continue your Canadian Travels there is a great tournament on the border of Alberta and Saskatchewan on Sept 4-6. Check out my website or the official website at http://www.albertachess.org/2010BATB/index.php. <br /><br />By the way, great site. Like you my goal is to get to 2000. Unfortunately we don't have rating floors and I have dropped under 1800. I need to play more often to become more consistent.TerryChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15189508044247537368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536626.post-63087163648987016092010-07-16T11:59:10.353-05:002010-07-16T11:59:10.353-05:00That is interesting, anonymous, I wonder why so fe...That is interesting, anonymous, I wonder why so few under 2000. I heard somewhere that < 2200 or at least at Class level, the ratings should correlate similarly FIDE to USCF.LinuxGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764940044950170053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536626.post-45737701205413715772010-07-15T17:34:15.032-05:002010-07-15T17:34:15.032-05:00LinxusGuy,

For example, USCF Nakamura has for ages a rating over 2700+ while he just now broke that Fide 2700 barrier.<br /><br />Anyway, good luck with your upcoming tournaments.From the patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499383398575774704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536626.post-67779294810437620462010-07-12T09:09:28.585-05:002010-07-12T09:09:28.585-05:00Perhaps we can play a game at the Green Bay Open. ...Perhaps we can play a game at the Green Bay Open.
