    Hi Fred:

    Your "history" link: https://www.chess.ca/en/ratings/p/top/

    Where do I find this screen under the CFC subject headings? It says in the URL, "ratings/p/top" ??

    Hi Bob,

    In your list I don't see some Canadian players above 80 y.o. who have played in a FQE rated tournament in the last two years. Not all FQE tournaments are CFC rated (in fact very few are), so a lot of players are missing IMHO.

    Thks

    Has a FIDE membership number, but no Standard rating and no birth year. So, at least, we know the spelling of his name is correct.

    No match when searched in the CFC Database!

    Possibility - he's deceased? Or is the announcement of his passing premature?

    Jordan is alive and well and still playing chess in Newfoundland. He is one of those people on your list, that has no birthdate on record with the CFC. Refer to my note above to remove them

    Try age >= 79 (as of 2024/01/01) and <= 98 (gets rid of the players with no DOB)

    Your list includes players with no birth date, but I think I know how to eliminate them. I'll experiment and give you the parameters.
