I still class you as young Alan
To be honest I am not sure 2 years from now if we have anyone < 30 who will be as strong as anyone who played in Tromso. We have never been able to repeat what happened in terms of title player production as happened in post the Fischer era (Rowson & Dearing excepted). What are we doing differently now?
McQueen, Sreeves, Green, Berry all can still improve. Joe Redpath has potential but I am not sure the inclination. Murad Abdullah...who knows? Beyond that I am not sure. I apologies to the many other young talents that do not come immediately to mind.
What about OLD talents? I have decided to try to gain the FM title, then the IM title, within the next 2 years and hope to make it into the Scotland team for either/or both the Euro Teams and the Olympiad.
Let's see if any of our 'young' talents can beat me to it!
