Scottish 2016

[Alan Tate]

Thanks to the organisers, arbiters, and everyone else for making it happen (including whoever washed all the cups etc!). Excellent prize fund considering the strength of the tournament - it's a good experience to play for high stakes. Finally, congratulations to Matthew, and to Keti for a strong display of fighting chess and deserved Scottish champion. The international open format is not perfect, but it has produced clearly worthy champions in the last 2 years.
