Really strong perfomance from Freddie at the Nortumbria Masters and apparently enough for his first IM norm

Some 'big' matches today and concluding rounds tomorrow. Go (all four) junior Scotland teams! 

One young Scottish world champion in action. We have some very bright (female and male) prospects on show. Good luck!

Watch live or better still visit the excellent venue and spectate!

Nice rating gain and great results against the IMs and GM for Adam here https://chess-results.com/tnr781992.aspx...g=30&snr=6

We need more chess funding. I have written to my MSP Dame Jackie Baillie who will write to the Scottish Government and will be back in touch when they respond.

The Scottish Chess Association has received grant as follows:

Well that was so fun last couple of days we decided to go again this weekend, but double it and then add a weekender into the mix as well.

So at the Edinburgh Park Hotel on the 10th from 7:30 an under 19 Blitz, Friday and we have a Junior allegro from 9:30, an Allegro from 2, then the first round of a weekend Standard event from 7:30.

Saturday we calm down a bit with 2 rounds of Standard and then a blitz from 7

By then the exhausted arbiters, and any players deciding to try and play in all events available, just the last 2 rounds of standard.

Entries have not been quite as we would have liked, so 2 sections for most events and down to 1 section in one.

Chess Results for Blitz here, Allegro here and Standard here. For Vega with no ads or cookies for Allegro and Standard click here.

And possibly a good opportunity for any Glorney Cup etc., team members to get some actual chess in before the following weekend.

Please enter if you can.
