Great to see star players Stephen Mannion and Alan Tate playing. This will get over any Olympiad disappointments.
Interestingly sponsored by Pokerstars - huge company now and big budget - Craig & Kevin just mentioned sponsorship for Scotland - it shows you if its pitched right company's will sponsor chess- London chess Classic is also really well presented. Do we have the marketing skills the product and the professionalism? Its difficult with such a small country but with experienced guys at the likes of Quality Chess and creative organisers like Johnathan Edwards Scottish Blitz its not beyond the realms of possibility
A big help would be someone from chess who works in PR/marketing as companies want new ideas to promote their brands
