The bigger the elo rating gap between players the less reason there is for the higher rated to battle the lower rated.
Therefore I propose a game winner receive X rating points and a loser lose X rating points. For draws between equally rated players there would be no change. For draws with unequally rated players the lower rated player would receive X/2 rating points and the higher rated player would lose X/2 rating points.
I propose that X=10 Just feels right to me
To incentivise global chess play I think a spot in the candidates tourney should be awarded to the player that plays the most games during the year before the tourney and the player that wins the most game during that time.
The player(s) can be any gender. They can play a maximum of 2 games of opposing colors with any opposing player.
Federation membership is not required. All games regardless of the (non)federation membership of the players must be recorded on paper or print out and signed by both players. Also the paper or print out should have āGlobal Chess Incentiveā clearly shown near the top of the form.
So may it be posted. So may it be done
