	Or, who will pay for the extra manhours needed to keep track of all this. Oh yeah... That's the point.

After all the sole fact that we play means that a tournament in Suriname is international, including the village championships of Moengo! What makes you think they will give you permission to play - or if they do, that it will arrive before the tournament starts?

	In Roman times you couldn't go on a journey unless you had a "diploma," a pass from your local mucky-mucks.

	it sounds like this is a way for the national federations to start charging players they don't like to play tournaments they are going to play anyways.

	May I suggest the title of this thread is unnecessarily redundant.

Well (2) certainly will be adored by the chess bureaucrats, but it reeks of social control. What, is that how they live in Kalmykia? "Pardon me sir, would you please stamp my milk authorization?"
