    The other interesting number - 201 tournaments were rated in 1972 July 1 - 1972 June 30 period.

    The list is from "Rating 1972 by CFC" - the text scanned and OCR was done, including Alphabetical Listing.

    Could anybody lend the next (previous) issue(s)? (request to those who are in Toronto (GTA)

      Re: Pre-Fischer era (1972 June 30) TOP-50 CFC ratings

      Starting in late 1973, the ratings were published in the then-new CFC Bulletin. Prior to that, there was a booklet printed July 1 each year (starting in 1965?), with irregular updates in "Canadian Chess Chat".

      On the list provided by Egidijus, note the "x" beside Lawrence Day's name - denoting "provisional rating". For a short period around 1972, you were permitted to throw out your old rating and start over again - which Lawrence did.

        Also, round about that time or just afterwards, all Canadian players were given a 100 point rating boost so that our ratings would more nearly approximate the US ratings, which were usually higher than those of FIDE.

            #28 is Theodorovich or rarely Theodorovitch. At one time he was Suk.

            Of the top 20 on that list, I played tournament games against 18. Never played Bohatirchuk or Michaely.

            Peter, didn't the "rating boon" come a few years later? It's all so long ago that 197x seems the same as 1972. Sometimes. The announcement and explanation of the Boon is in magazine #42 (with Lawrence Day gracing the cover), dated July-August 1980, page 50, over the name of Dan Scoones, Rating Auditor.

                The 100 rating point boost was made in the 80's. I remember because the boost was after I retired from active play.

                  You're right, JB, the rating boost did not happen while I was still active (through 1976). I stopped playing after two disasterous tournaments in 1976 - Canadian Open and Closed back to back. About 26 games in as many days with adjournments - so average game for me was 7 - 8 hours with one going to 13 hours as I recall! And that's not counting time spent analysing adjourned positions - I must have been crazy then!

                    the 100 point rating boost was in 1980.

                      Probably at the same time when the current (ANA NAN) postal codes were introduced (1972-74).

                        Does anybody interested in a whole list?

                        ---

                        and a small correction: "201 tournaments" includes matches. There are ~1/4 of two persons matches in the list. Example 96. Berry-Harper Match. Any interesting history
