(I assume this was just coincidental!). Based on my discussion, there is still a desire within FIDE to have such a system, but they recognise the need to 'do it right'. This both involves the process (possibly QC needs to discuss it first, and General Assembly has to approve), and the format (handling new players etc).<br />I would suggest that Federations think about what kind of system would suit them (from 'none at all' upwards) and make some proposals to QC. I almost certainly will.

Have you any idea what that second sentence means, please? I see also that the Handbook on the web-site still contains these licensing rules.

Such a fundamental change, that you need to ask the permission of FIDE and the national Federation before playing a tournament should surely be put through the GA. <br /><br />From the English perspective, the likely reaction is a rapid reversal of moves to increase the numbers of FIDE rated events.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662466331603997617.post-15193130080251732212013-01-31T03:11:11.820+11:002013-01-31T03:11:11.820+11:00Am also interested in something I cannot figure ou...Am also interested in something I cannot figure out myself, being not an expert on the new 2013 title regulations. <br /><br />Is it correct to say that with title-norms-tournaments, one can hope to become a WIM/IM/WGM/GM without ever beating a single WIM/IM/WGM/GM?
