THE world chess federation has redefined what constitutes chess inactivity.
Here is the text of a new announcement at Fide's website:
The lack of rated events due to the coronavirus pandemic could have led, under the existing regulations, to many players being considered as "inactive". As such, they could have been removed from the rating list.
In order to prevent that, the Qualification Commission has made the recommendation to temporarily extend the period required to be considered "inactive" from 12 to 24 months. The exceptional measure, approved by the FIDE Council, has already been applied to November's rating list. This modification will be reverted once the chess activity goes back to pre-pandemic levels of activity and competitions.
