Andy B for the avoidance of doubt I haven't taken offense at you not agreeing with me although I do take offense at you insinuating it. What troubles me is the glee that certain posters take in tearing things to shreds, inventing doomsday scenarios and zombie apocalypses without so much as a constructive comment... I don't think its unreasonable to expect people to be constructive. Obviously, you disagree...
On 150+ member federations agreeing it, I think that is quite important, FIDE are the custodians of the game (like it or not) and they are responsible for the laws. A lot of people have reviewed these guidelines both smarter than you or I and that's the point!
Edit to add: Andy are you actually suggesting that this motion will have a detrimental effect on chess in Scotland?

Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional!
