Winning four 5-point matches in a row at the Brussels Friendly 55 tournament on November 6 was sufficient for Michel Lamote to push the national rating record up to 1834.15. (If you want to watch Michel playing live: just mark Friday evening December 18 at Longchamp’s in your calendar for the BIC 2015 final, with live commentary by Walter Meuwis.)
Sabrina Vastapane (Brussels) is just a 5-point match shy of acquiring 100 experience points and entering the main part of the rating list. If she would win that match, she would have a good chance of overtaking Line Vandamme (Brugge) as the highest ranked lady on the rating list.
