amuir Wrote:Andy , congratulations (to Clement too), why is it that you went to the Czech Republic, and why is chess bigger over there than here ? On the jan fide list I do not see FM title awarded for you or Clement. Are there formalities to be carried out ?
Hi Andy, cheers.
Both Clement and I have hit the 2300 mark between lists. We don't have to have a 'published' rating of 2300 on, say, Jan 1st or Feb. 1st.
There are a lot of good, strong tournaments out here in Czech/Slovak (also Poland/Humgary etc) - it's just more 'acceptable' culturally!

Andy, your age profile is certainly right for the Olympiad team !
Over there is there chess on tv or government sponsorship or why is culture different ? where does the money come from ?

Congratulations Andy, that's brilliant! Good couple of weeks for Scottish chess, these...
