Tromso Olympiad
#23
Does it make any difference if Scotland finish 53rd in the Olympiad or 87th? (or any other random number).
I would suggest not.

I am in agreement with George, which in itself is a cause for personal concern Wink . That aside.

What does Chess Scotland gain from being represented by ageing GM/IMs who have been in decline for many years? That is not in any way an attack on them, merely a painful factual observation.

Step aside relatively old men, forsake your subsidised holiday and give the youngsters a chance.

The team could easily have been
Greet (there might be a couple of arguments for leaving him at home)
Tate
Sreeves
... +any number of 2100+ guys under 30 years of age.

They might have finished 9,671st. So what?
You can invest in the future, or invest in the declining present.

Then again, we all love a subsidised holiday.
