FICGS 1st chess world championship
Hello Heinz-Georg !
It's only a logical extension to the rule that divide the championship in a round-robin and a knockout (for the 8 best rated players) tournament. Of course, there's no rule that fit to everyone, only choices... I hope to make the most balanced ones for the whole site.
By this rule, high rated players have a stage less to play (that they would probably win) and it limits the rating gaps (otherwise it would be more like a cup). In most wch competitions, winners and high rated players/teams are qualified for an advanced stage in the tournament.. A quite common and logical system, used everywhere from football world cup [winner qualified for quarter final] to Roland-Garros [qualifications stage], FIDE world championship etc... 2300 rule is a statistical choice, used in IECG too with more parameters. (nevertheless at IECG high rated players can choose to play the first stage too, but IMO it's quite complicate)
I hope to make it as simple and attractive as possible, believe me ;) Of course (and it is mentioned in the rules- preliminaries) rules could still evolve if improvements are decided by the [future] council.
The only negative point is, indeed, only 2300+ players can play the 1st wch, that is in a way not a "complete" championship. But compared to all other positive points (first, everyone can play now), and as 2nd wch starts at the same time, I think this choice is best.
What I think to do is to send all tournament tables to players who registered on 2006 june 16. If finally there are players who don't want to play it, they'll just have to tell me within days, responding by email. It should avoid any forfeit.

Re: Football world cup :-)
It was a victory that really teaches something. While the Brazilian squad tried to hide itself from their obvious flaws, masking them behind big names, France faced its problems, fixed them, and is very close of being a great team. A really classy victory for the French. Perhaps the bit of motivation they needed to achieve greater things. ;)

Football world cup :-(
cher Monsieur Muller ...
N'y-a-t-il pas un seul endroit sur le web où on puisse échapper à cette footballistique obsession ...
... et à ces leçons de morale bon marché sur fond de jeux de ballon??
Si vous étiez italien ou français, passe encore... mais vous êtes belge, en plus.
Qu'est-ce que votre commentaire a à faire ici et en quoi peut-il intéresser quiconque ?
Faites-le plutôt sur
www. FanaDeFootMoralDésappointé.com
ou sur
www.AQuIlEstBonDeChambrerLesFrançais.com,
par exemple ...
... mais la leçon élémentaire de moralité publique à deux sous à base de coupe du monde sur des forums d'échecs moi, pour parler clairement, j'en ai déjà eu ma dose jusqu'à l'écoeurement ...
.. et j'espère que ça ne va pas continuer à polluer longtemps encore ce forum-ci comme tant d'autres!

Cher Monsieur Lacrosse, Je pense que même un Belge peut avoir son opinion sur le sujet !!??.... sur un forum, quel qu'il soit. Mais je ne désire pas poursuivre cette polémique ni répondre à une provocation. Bonnes parties....d'échecs !

England not a country?
England is not a country!! What is it then? In the football world cup, we played as England, not United Kingdom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles_terminology part of which is quoted above. "England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland = constituent countries of the United Kingdom." It is like saying France, England and many other countries belong to the EU, therefore all EU countries should have the EU flag, not there home country. I would prefer the English flag, but I can live with the Union Jack flag.
