Reading some of the comments in this thread concerning the equitable distribution of capital irrespective of ability makes me think I must be living in a communist state already except...err...I guess that can't be because if that were so there would be government funding going into chess! Maybe when we anoint Princess Nicola the funding will come? She is promising to magic it up for everyone else after all. Perhaps SNP will grow the number of chess players in same way they will grow the Scottish economy? Or will she just redistribute from Open to Minor by abolishing the free entry for titled players? We shall see. Lets declare independence and make Scotland the newest communist republic and all this unfairness about giving bigger prizes to better players can be declared illegal :p
