Re: Potential (?) New FIDE Transfer Fees
Nice, 250 euros to notify FIDE that they have to change the country listed for a player who might be rated 1250...Christopher Mallon

Re: Potential (?) New FIDE Transfer Fees
The rich man at the helm of FIDE has no understanding of money. 50,000 Euros to be paid by destination country for top GM! Thats about 80 G Canadian! Why not a cool 1 million?Comment

Re: Potential (?) New FIDE Transfer Fees
Very interesting! Not unlike the transfer fees we see in professional soccer except that here the the transfer goes not to a club but to the federation of that country the player was registered in. I'm sure FIDE gets a cut of the action, although I don't see this stated. Anyhow it now looks like an Arab Emirate could buy a potentially gold medal winning team for the next Chess Olympiad, and at a relatively modest price. Shades of the NY Yankees in baseball. This may also give some of the elite GMs more leverage with their federations (Either you give me a decent appearance fee or I'm going to play for Qatar and you'll just get some Euros.)Comment

Re: Potential (?) New FIDE Transfer Fees
So how much would the CFC get if Portugal bought Spraggett? Hmmm.....Comment

Re: Potential (?) New FIDE Transfer Fees
Probably he satisfies all 1.3 requirements (naturalization, >2 years, FIDE approval), thus the CFC will get nothing (0).Originally posted by Vlad Dobrich View PostComment

Re: Potential (?) New FIDE Transfer Fees
I don't know how it is with OTB chess. With CC, it's better for a player to play under the flag of Canada. There's less of us and the event becomes more representative of the international community.Originally posted by Vlad Dobrich View Post
Does Portugal allow players who were not born in that country to play on their Olympic team? I don't even know that.Gary Ruben

Re: Potential (?) New FIDE Transfer Fees
But, according to section 2.6: "The date of commencement of any period of residence shall be the day after the date of receipt by the FIDE secretariat of notification of change of Federation."Originally posted by Egidijus Zeromskis View Post
thus Kevin's residency in Portugal, in the eyes of FIDE, has not yet begun. But then according to another clause, the Compensation clause could be waived by the CFC anyway.

Re: Potential (?) New FIDE Transfer Fees
I think you've nailed it Gordon, except for the FIDE part. Their cut is coming only from an increase in their notification fee.Originally posted by Gordon Taylor View Post
Star players have started moving around more and the countries who invested in (helped build) these players want their due. I believe Karjakin is one of the cases in point. He wants to play for Russia.Comment

Notification fees, Transfer fees, and now Compensation fees!
That's a lot of fees! I always found there was much confusion about these FIDE fees. The name they give them don't help either, very confusing. To summarize the fees in this section:
Notification fee - Standard fee for anyone change federations. 250 Euros.
Transfer fees - additional fee only if player wants to change federation before satisfying residency requirements.
Compensation fee - this one is NEW. Fees are payable not to FIDE, but from the new federation to the old federation.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong!
If you really want to understand the FIDE fee structures, you need to read the actual documents. So, thanks Ken for posting them. Relying on chesstalk posts alone, hmmmm...not recommended.:oComment

Re: Potential (?) New FIDE Transfer Fees
I guess that they put those regulations at the top of the page to scare people off:) If you scroll a bit down you would see that the actual transfer fees for people who reside in the country are significantly lower than that.Originally posted by Vlad Dobrich View PostComment

New FIDE Transfer Fees
Is it time to make an "investment" by "registering" all really strong players who reside in Canada (and agree) but are not "Canadians" as defined by FIDE? We probably can't afford to do so, in any event.Comment

Re: New FIDE Transfer Fees
Why don't do "made in Canada" instead of "importing" the chess players? Other federation can "made", why Canada can not?Originally posted by J. Ken MacDonald View PostComment

New FIDE Transfer Fees
I am sure you opened this topic for the general readers of CT and not in response to my comment.Originally posted by William Yuan View Post
Certainly, one can see I wasn't recommending that we import players, but I was (with a little humour) suggesting that we take advantage of our position as a wonderful country where strong players occasionally want to live. Since the new fees do not become effective until July 1st next year, there is a window to use the current, much lower, fees for those players who are here already.Comment

Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
15. Have fun!
(Thanks to Nigel Hanrahan for writing these up!)
