For those of you wondering... Yes! I am a ham radio operator. I am just getting into D-Star, but I don't think there are any D-Star repeaters I can key from home. I may have to work the system while mobile or possibly when at work.
Anyway, back to chess.
I no longer will send reminder notices when an opponent doesn't move; I received a complaint on that. Please watch your time as I don't like gaining points through timeouts. Think of it this way: If someone had a rating of 1900, would you challenge him to a game? How do you know that high rating was not gained through timeouts?
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.
