:Hello, I understand your concern, as GA-class does need a review indeed. However we should not mix up the GA-class for a particular WikiProject (Wikipedia:WikiProject Chess in our case) and the GA-class for the general Wikipedia, as these are two things that are slightly different in my understanding (although I am not completely sure). See for example Talk:Endgame tablebase which has both GA-class, one being attributed through the Wikipedia:WikiProject Chess and the other through the formal GA nomination process.  

 :Moreover, even for the GA nomination process, I would tend to think that the reviews we are doing (in the scope of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Chess) could be good enough to serve also for the wider GA scale. In order to be sure, I have raised the question to  in , as he is a mentor on the GA system.
