As a Chess player and Chess parent, I would like to share an insight what a active chess player and chess parent look out for in CFC official website :
1. Updated CFC rating every week ( Wed evening or Thu morning ). This has been done most of the time by Bob Gillanders although missed once in a while.
2. FIDE rating - I would think if the information is out dated or wrong, please delete this information then. What's the point if the information is incorrect
3. Tournaments to be listed clearly - This is not achieved as often times, the out dated tournaments are still there and you don't really see many tournaments listed there. Players would like to see a list of important tournaments for example norm tournaments or FIDE rated tournaments and any other tournaments which are of relevant to them
4. CFCF rating calculator - this is very important as I think most players like to calculate their rating after each game or tournament. Latest good example is a player from Kitchener - MM. Well he has achieved a high of close to 2000 now. Congrats !
5. Outdated information should be deleted from the website as far as possible. Any members of any organization would not like their association to have out dated website.
6. An active forum - this has been replaced by Chess talk forum ( Chess and Math ). Too bad
7. An updated Chess online magazine. This magazine is of good quality but often times outdated.
If the above can be improved, this will be much appreciated by all CFC members and hopefully will result in higher memberships.
Please add any other points a CFC member wants in CFC website.
I really hope CFC authorities will take heed of this posting and we look forward to a better website.
Cheers for a better tomorrow in Canada Chess.
Well, we have two World Champions in 2 years. That`s a fantastic achievement.
