January 2014 grades are out!

The ECF has released the new grades on their website, Horsham members are listed below...

Note that a few members who have started playing competitively this season have not yet gathered enough games (9 minimum) to qualify for a grade, you will get yours in the summer. For example Mark Hewitt's excellent start in the Knight has propelled him to 126 whilst dad Tony and brother Richard are not quite at the 9 game threshold.

The full database is available to browse at http://www.englishchess.org.uk/grading/database/ - note that the ECF site is a bit unstable today and will hopefully improve shortly.

The formatting of the list below is difficult to improve, basically the first figure is the new standardplay grade, the third is the new rapidplay grade.
