We would very much appreciate it if no other senior events are scheduled for the same day .

.

These seem to have been approved last month, another impediment to FIDE rating tournaments?

Good luck to the Scotland squad of Murad Abdulla, Lennart Koehn, Declan Shafi, Euan Gray and Anna Milton who are taking part in the U16 Olympiad in Hungary. I make it 54 teams from 38 countries with Scotland seeded 47th.

Play starts on Saturday and team captain Calum MacQuinn (!) will be known as the Mighty Quinn if we come back with the trophy.

Hope everyone has a great time.

Hi folks,

A last-minute request here as I try to put the December issue of Scottish Chess to rest!

Does anyone have any photos from last month's 1st weekend of the SNCL?? Preferably a playing hall pic of decent quality Alternatively, a pic from last year would work.

Regards,
Andy Burnett

P.S. Could really do with it sometime today!! abburnett (at) hotmail.com or editor (at) chessscotland.com

There are also events for juniors at the same time and place.

The organisers do a first rate job, but the number of adult entries seems to be falling - in November we had a 6 player all play all !

Any adults/strong juniors why not come along and support this tournament ?

Check the tournament calendar regularly - a number of these events open to adults have been organised recently.

Good luck to all our kids who are taking part in the Liverpool Quadrangular this weekend.

Who are in the teams this year?

Also I believe that we are sending a team to the under-16 Olympiad in Hungary from 12th December? Who has been selected for that?

First result from Richardson:

Cathcart 4½ - 3½ Dundee

Roddy McKay ½ - ½ David Findlay
Alan Grant 0 - 1 Sergey Tin
David Campbell 0d - 1d Stephen Hogg
Mike Harkins 1 - 0 Alastair Dawson
Alistair Maxwell 0 - 1 Jim Anderson
Ian Marks 1 - 0 Peter Walsh
Sai Kong Tsang 1 - 0 Gordon Robertson
Malcolm Tyre 1d - 0d Default
