Thanks Robin - that would at least make the constitution consistent with the explanatory advice including the grandparent clause.
it’s really for the CWP to amend either the proposal of the explanation. The confusion is an impediment to anyone submitting an amendment, for which time is getting short.
Alistair White’s response suggest that it’s the explanation that may be wrong and that the controversial grandparent Scottish connection may not even be needed and that the only requirements for eligibility for international selection will be the ones set by FIDE.
Whatever the CWP intends, at present the constitutional proposal holds sway over the (currently wrong) explanation and there will not even be a need for a foreign GM with a bit of cash to spare and who fancies playing some top level chess for Scotland to check out their grandparents.
