He mentioned that there is not many FIDE tournaments at Ireland, most of the time he played at Club. Then he mentioned about my FIDE rating (2040) and how i lost quite a lot of ratings in Selangor Open.
Silently I like Wow!, never know someone memorized my rating! and know about my performance!
Quickly I went to Fide website and discovered the following:
Zaidan had gain 41.25 over the last two months and stood to be at 2039 when July 2010 list come out. He achieved this when he took part in Irish National Club Championship at Dublin. 2039...2040...Aha! :-)
I also discovered that Selangor Open's result has been submitted (and many others that yet to be submitted...) to FIDE resulting in following ELO effect:

Ilham,
ReplyDeleteLost 33 points? Surely the receivers are thanking you for your generosity.
Jokes aside, need to study more? Which is hard to do - with the family and career responsibilities, need to update blog et al. Good Luck, Bro!
