The organisers were not providing free accommodation (as normally happens) for a head of delegation or a coach (unless they had a full Fide trainer qualification). At a conservative guesstimate it would therefore cost CS £4K plus to send these officials.
I could be wrong but I think this is a change in regulations brought in by FIDE some time ago. If so that takes it out of the hands of host nation. Andy (Howie) can you confirm or deny please.
So now we can see Andy's Muir's cunning plan - he will acquire his FIDE training qualification in the next day or two.
No Mr Burnett you can't get CS to pay for half of his transport only - it has to be a return ticket.
