CHESS CORNWALL
Welcome to the website of the Cornwall County Chess Association
ECF Rating List

The rating list to be used for the 2025/26 team competitions was published on 1 July 2025. Cornish players' ratings are shown at https://www.cornwallchess.org.uk/html/links-row/ratings.shtml and on the club pages. Please note that where a player who does not have a full rating is selected the Rating Officer needs to be notified at least 7 days in advance so that he can calculate an estimated rating for that player. This rating will then be used until the player acquires a full rating.
