| The SCCA grading list has been published during the first quarter of each calendar year, then supplemented by updates from the ICCF
rating system every March and September. The 2008 list was the last to calculate SCCA grades. From 2009, all grades are calculated
on the ICCF system, and SCCA domestic events are administered on the ICCF webserver to allow results to be automatically fed into
the ICCF system. From 2009, the ICCF grading list has been published quarterly. |
Grading List 2024
July 2024 Notes
The final ICCF grading list of 2024 is published and new grades are based on 3 months’ results reported between 1 Jul and 30 Sep 2024.
The grades will apply to internationally graded games starting between 1 Oct and 30 Dec 2024.
The only change to titles is Robert Montgomery’s Scottish Master title ratification. Congratulations to Robert!
There was 1 addition to the list as Andrew Robinson got to the 30-game threshold for a fixed rating. Again sadly, we have lost another from
the list as Colin Beveridge has passed away. My thoughts are with his family. Martin Hardwick has transferred his allegiance to England and also
drops from our list.
The most significant rating moves were Ian Whittaker (+69), Charles O’Neill-McAleenan (+67), Benjamin Major and Wilf Taylor (+51), James
Murray (+46), Andrew Taylor (+41), Robert Gilbert (+30) and Thomas Matheis (+22).
New games centurions were Carlos Almarza Mato (2600+) and Robert Bruce (1200+). Highest recorded games this quarter were Carlos Almarza Mato (58),
Iain Sneddon and Robert Bruce (45), and Michael Blake (21).
July 2024 Notes
The third ICCF grading list of 2024 is published and new grades are based on 3 months’ results reported between 1 Apr and 30 June 2024.
The grades will apply to internationally graded games starting between 1 Jul and 30 Sep 2024.
It appears that there were no new norms in the latest rating period.
There was 1 addition to the list, returning after a period of inactivity. Sadly, we have lost 2 from the list, Graham Morrison and David Cumming,
who have passed away. My personal condolences to their families and they will be sadly missed.
The most significant rating moves were Andrew MacMillen (+81), Derek Price (+80), John Dunn (+66), James Murray (+43), Benjamin Major (+42),
Andrew Taylor (+41), Colin McGregor (+34), Carlos Almarza Mato (+31), Robert Bruce, Martin Hardwick, Robert Montgomery, Wilf Taylor (all +22),
Iain Mackintosh (+21) and Geoffrey Lloyd (+20).
New games centurions were Martin Hardwick (2000+), Ian Sneddon (800+) and Steve Pettigrew (200+). Highest recorded games this quarter were
Carlos Almarza Mato and Robert Bruce (44), Martin Hardwick (41) and Iain Sneddon (35).
April 2024 Notes
The second ICCF grading list of 2024 is published and new grades are based on 3 months’ results reported between 1 Jan and 31 Mar 2024.
The grades will apply to internationally graded games starting between 1 Apr and 30 Jun 2024.
It appears that there were no new norms in the latest rating period.
There were 2 additions to the list, both previously registered under England. This resulted from the demise of BCCA where the admin had
been wayward. The players have made the correct decision now!! The most significant rating moves were Ian Marshall (+127), Thomas Anderson
(+91), Richard Beecham (+45), Colin Beveridge (+32), and Steve Pettigrew (+23).
New games centurions were Raymond Burridge (2000+) and Robert Montgomery (400) and Gordon Anderson (400+) Highest recorded games this quarter
were Martin Hardwick (56), Iain Sneddon (36) and Carlos Almarza Mato (25).
January 2024 Notes
The first ICCF grading list of 2024 is published and new grades are based on 3 months’ results reported between 1 Oct and 31 Dec 2023. The
grades will apply to internationally graded games starting between 1 Jan and 31 Mar 2023.
In the norms and titles stakes it appears that Robert Montgomery has secured a final norm for the Scottish Master title (thanks for pointing it
out Robert!). This is subject to ratification by the SCCA Executive Committee. Ian Whittaker and Colin Beveridge also earn SM norms through ratings.
Congratulations (subject to ratification!) to them all.
There were 3 deletions from the list due to inactivity. The most significant rating moves were Andrew MacMillen (+70), David Carswell (+56), John
Armstrong (+55), Colin Beveridge (+51), Arthur Knox & Ian Whittaker (+35), Mark Smith (+29), Allan Buchan and Iain Sneddon (+21) and Geoffrey Lloyd (+20).
New games centurions were Carlos Almarza Mato (2500+), Geoffrey Lloyd (1200+) and Gordon Anderson (400+) Highest recorded games this quarter were Iain
Sneddon (41), Carlos Almarza Mato (40), David Cumming (36) and Geoffrey Lloyd (+30).
