They may have had an email from F.I.D.E. as well.
Have any of them updated their profiles?
Have any of the others drew a game with SH76?
Maybe I got it 'cos I claimed it first.

I was actually never going to play any but got roped in.
(could not resist it)
My time off site is limited as I have many other chess things on the go.
I played in one tournament and everything went to pot as I poured
over these games in my bedroom. I loved evey minute of it really,
took me back to my old 1970's C.C. days throwing the bits about on a board.
But other things took a back seat and I'm still catching up on lost time.
My main problem is that one game.
Win, lose or draw my grading will change from 1776 and I may lose
my F.I.D.E RHP Master Title.
I'll have to keep it going forever. Or hope that my opponents grade
drops to 800 and I win it then it won't have any effect.
It's not easy being an RHP Master.

When I saw your profile this morning I laughed so hard I almost spit out my mouthful of iced tea (yes, we Yanks drink tea cold) onto some very important legal docs I was reviewing. You almost made me ruin the documents, get fired, and go into chess full time and become a GM. Thanks a lot!

Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexDo you mean that 2200+ on RHP is approximately equal to 2600+ GMs? That's impressive, if it is true. But how can you know?
Consistant 2200s would be a bit too high really - that would mean any red hot pawn masters would be the equivilent of 2600+ grand masters (of which there are only a handful in the world). In real life there are the poor lowly International and fide masters who hardly get a look in on the grand scale but are nevertheless very good players in their o ...[text shortened]... thinking that getting to 2100, or even 2000 on here should warrant some sort of master respect.
