I don't agree that the Guidelines have to applied letter by letter. That would be dogmatic and much too restrictive. The 'three metres' is to be taken with a pinch of salt. How many organisers could afford such spaciousness and remain economic/affordable?
What we do need is an agreed, consolidated list of what constitute Chess Scotland events under which the new FIDE guidelines would be 'enforceable'.
I don't agree with that. It smacks of 'defeatism'. Not a quality I would ascribe to you!!
