However if I knew how to do it and funding was available it would be done.
Should be a cracking final. I hope the trophies will make it to Grangemouth as the celebration photos in recent years have been good.
On the funding point, what are costs? I believe someone kindly donated the equipment already so the major costs are covered? A web link maybe but really is that such big deal fro 5 hours? The appearance of these boards has been gradually disappearing this year. Regularly we hear about lack of sponsorship, what ideas to raise funds etc on this board. Well, one rather obvious point is you get no money if you are invisible. These boards should be great opportunity to make chess more visible so why not train all CS arbiters how to use them? If there is one event in calendar crying out for live coverage surely the Richardson final is the one?
