The time between Norms changes, susatining the 2000+ ratings only matters after you have achieved your 3rd norm. Last three tournies I went to Ive dropped quite a few points, FIDE is lingering closer to 1700 now. But yes when I do get my next win all will be set. Lorn knows flying out to these tournamnets is tough though.:'(

Originally posted by marinakatombFunnily enough the other week I came across 3 games from Mr Tebb in one of my old chess magazines (Chess monthly October 1998). All the games were from the 1998 British Championship. 2 games were analysed by GM's the other by an IM. Unfortunately David lost all three games, but he must be pretty good to get the championship and a worthy opponent or else they would have picked somebody elses games.
He's not the first. Ironman and I think David Tebb are Masters. (Well, i assume David is, he posted a game of his with his OTB rating which was 2200+ so i figured😕)
