what is going on? Have I been transported to a parallel universe where Scotland is a former soviet state?!
How did you pull this one off Alex?
Next you'll be telling me Mike Hanley is Pime Minister and Andy Muir Foreign Secretary!

Nothing to do with me really. Danilov is touring various ECU member nations and bringing Topolov with him. Andy Howie has done all the spade work.
Seems too good an opportunity to miss.

Sunday 29th April
3.15pm Player arrival
3.45pm approx Simul starts
9pm Play ends (if still in progress)
The intended venue is the Scottish Parliament but Edinburgh Chess Club will kindly provide the venue if this proves impossible.
