[update II] Wrong FIDE results reported

Steven Bellens     30.04.2025    10

Update 02.05.2025 – the fault is traced back to an error in the code that generated the FIDE report. All even board numbers can be affected. We have submitted an updated, corrected report to FIDE with the request to correct this calculation as soon as possible. FIDE is aware of the big impact this error has on the ELO calculation of May.

We are aware that the report of the last round of the national interclubs contained errors in the results and that these incorrect results were also processed by FIDE. We will ensure that a new correct report is sent to FIDE. However, we are then dependent on FIDE for the processing and the time at which it will be processed again. In the past, corrections have not always been processed with the same success.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

As many have seen, FIDE published a new ranking yesterday in which the correction of the incorrect results has been processed. The new elo’s have also been processed in our databases and on our website. Please take these new elo files into account during the upcoming tournaments.

Ik vrees dat de fout niet beperkt was tot de even borden met beslissende resultaten.
Wij hebben fouten gezien met remise op een even bord en verkeerd resultaat op een oneven bord.
Ik heb deze woensdag naar jullie doorgestuurd.

Rechtzetting: de “verkeerde” resultaten op de oneven borden waren tegen niet geklasseerde spelers en dus door mij verkeerd gemeld.

All,
the corrected report has been sent to FIDE.
So now we all have to wait if and when FIDE Ratings will treat this corrected file.
When we receive an answer of FIDE Ratings or when the ratings are corrected, we will inform you.
Kind regards,
Luc Cornet.

Hoi Steven,
Ik meen me te herinneren dat mijn NIC r11 partij wel korrekt op de kbsb interclub, public view stond. Dus is de fout dan bij ons ?
.
Anderzijds zijn de interclub uitslagen ingediend vanuit thuisploeg – uit ploeg. Zelf speel ik als bezoekende speler op bord 2 met wit maar is de uitslag 0 – 1 en dat terwijl je met wit wint. De fide houdt stats bij van wit en zwart , de kbsb doet dat niet. Ik vraag me af of dat dit de interclub verwerking bemoeilijkt of manuele conversies vereist.

Op te merken valt dat de KBSB interclub public view pagina wederom offline is maar ik neem aan dat je andere uitslagen bronnen hebt voor de rechtzetting.

Groeten en succes met de correcties.

Stefan

En effet, merci de faire corriger mon résultat du 27-04, nulle au lieu de défaite. Inderdaad, gelieve mijn uitslag van 27-04 te laten wijzegen, remise in plaats van verlies
