I think it is important to point out that our top players do provide a lot for the chess community. The majority of them work for Quality chess. Quality chess produces the best chess books in the world. They have contributed greatly in the past directly to Chess Scotland but their focus is now on Quality chess which doesn’t just benefit Scotland but the whole world. They have put Scottish chess on the map with this company. Even whilst their focus has been on this company they have helped Chess Scotland. They provided a very good IM/norm event for players like Alan Tate and also sponsored the Scottish Championships in Edinburgh. I am sure they have done more but these are the things that immediately come to mind.
