6 A second group does not really want organizers to allow “playing up”, even with the 100 point limit. They are concerned about the second principle elaborated above – the detriment of playing weaker players. Many of them find the normal sections already allow quite a rating spread – for example, an U 2000 section will often go down to 1600 – a 400 point rating spread. This group thinks this spread is wide enough. Players a further 100 points down just dilute the playing strength of the section, and having them pay a “playing up fee” is not sufficient compensation for this detriment. What Do You Think? Do you think playing up should be allowed at all? If you do, what limitations do you think should be imposed to exert some control over the option? Send us your opinions and we’ll publish them under our “Readers’ Opinion” section. Let us know if you are an elite player or a “class” player. If you favour playing up, let us know if you do avail yourself of the option when available. Invitation: TCN encourages freelancers to submit topical chess articles for our lead article. Send on your article and we’ll review it with you, with a view to using it (we may suggest some editing, but generally very minor). You will get full credit in the publication. We will also post a bit of personal information on the freelancer, if they are agreeable.
