Malaysian NR for July to September 2014, Issued.

The Malaysian National Ratings(NR) to be used for local competitions in the 3rd Quarter of 2014 have been issued by MCF.

Considering that there are at least 4 FIDE-rated classical events included in the present list's calculations and coupled with the fact that FIDE have ratings for all 3 categories, perhaps its about time that MCF issues NR for all 3 categories.

Having said the above, there do exists an unofficial NR of sorts for the Blitz event. Refer HERE.
The blitz ratings initiative introduced by cerdikcatur uses the harkness system which was a precursor to the present elo rating system introduced by FIDE.

MCF might also want to consider issuing the NR on a monthly basis as per FIDE to reflect the changing dynamics of chess.

In the latest release both hAnA and CP increased their ratings by 104 and 177 respectively to 1415 and 1517. The newest NR places hAnA at number 356 among female players and CP at number 1388 for male players, an improvement of 343 and 2,608 places respectively.
