Morten Sands did also confirm the sky-high cost of alcohol in Tromso. So it's unlikely that the bribed delegates will have any cash left by the time they leave!
As for Macau - it was a convenient location for Kasparov's Team Asia (which includes me as proposed Asian General Secretary) to meet up for the first time, and to meet Kasparov and various of his presidential team, and also representatives from the African branch of the Kasparov Chess Foundation. All in the midst of a hectic junior event, with delegates from various Asian countries! I've put a lot of photos on the NZCF Facebook page (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.facebook.com/NZChessFederation;">https://www.facebook.com/NZChessFederation;</a><!-- m --> you don't need a Facebook login to see them). I haven't much outside the big hotel complex yet - hoping to see old Macau today, before I go home tomorrow. What I have seen is utterly spectacular.
On a political note - seems Kasparov is ahead in both Africa and Asia! And my Team Asia has a very good chance of winning!
