Therein lies the bottle-neck. Andrew, being a very competent programmer and interested tournament participant can, no doubt, come up with a state of the art computerised rating program to churn out the most updated ratings and have this information available to all interested parties. Some juniors have complained that the current list comes out late and they lose interest when they don't see their tournament efforts graded quickly enough.

Andrew is a computer programmer and is easily approachable by all at his blog. His talent is just what MCF needs to enhance the popularity of chess in the new computer era.
