Hi Bob,
I have a couple of Canadian chess legends that should be on your list. Branimir Brebrich and Ross Siemms, both approaching 90. According to their press clippings they are still active.

Some of the names we have on our active list appear here (Haven't yet checked
to see if all appear).
BUT - there is there no info on birth date......or am I missing how to find it?
Thanks

Here is another good resource on the CFC page, Bob. We have to realize that the CFC doesn't have birthdates for everybody, but quite a few seniors do have their birthdate in their history.

I use the FIDE Individual Calculations tab in determining whether those with a FIDE rating have been active since July 11, 2022.
I did not know about clicking on the player name......this will solve the "active in CFC" issue. I will now update the lists re CFC Active (Over a short bit of time).
Thanks all.

Do others get my tournament history if they search me on CFC (CFC # 100034)?

Hi Roger:
For my purposes, as to activity, I can search and get the summary profile line of a named player. If the CFC expiry is before July 11, 2022, I have confirmed them "inactive".
But for life members, or ones whose expiry is within the activity period, I do not know if they've been active....I have no access to their tournament history on their personal rating page.
Also, I must have a name to search......at least I don't know how to do it otherwise.......but I'm open to learning to do better research......

Bob. Why don't you just look the seniors up on the CFC and FIDE web sites, instead of asking people if they know if the seniors are active ?
