Not our Malaysian National Rating but Singapore’s as reported by IM Kevin Goh’s Chess Site’s article.

So should we follow suite ?  It make sense since there is also the FIDE rated rapid and blitz category.  It makes sense for a small chess population like Singapore but I don’t think Malaysia should follow suit. For one thing we just don’t have enough FIDE rated tournaments here.

Then again we could make rapid and blitz events FIDE rated. Would that be more expensive for organisers and players?
