Olympiad Goals

[Matthew Turner]

Without singling anyone out the players in the Open Olympiad team have done a lot for Scottish Chess over the years and it is good that Chess Scotland supports a representative team. That said the current team is not going to be future of Scottish chess (hopefully). I would suggest that we shouldn't spend too much time worrying bout how we can eke out a 2450 performance rather than a 2400 one. The real challenge is how we can bring through the next generation of players. How about a target of a top 30 finish by 2026?
