CXR Chess Express, Inc. www.chess-express.com again is rating our scholastic tournaments, so the players are actually getting rated twice, once by HICL a local seasonal rating system that gives out awards at the end of the year to the top performance overall to HCF scholastic tournament players based on HICL rating and via CXR a national lifetime rating system. Please check your ratings at both of these web sites to see how you stand against others. The unique think about CXR is that you get more than one rating you will also see over 40 stats once you are no longer a "Provisional player" and can can see how you stand against other players not just in Hawaii, but nationally and even Canadian players. There currently is 1366 CXR players of which Hawaii has 359 players adults and scholastic players.
