The Olympiad selectors have named a bold and exciting team in the Open event with plenty of hungry players. I hope their preparation goes well.
Where's the Olympiad team posted?
I was hoping this thread would not turn into another junior chess argument. There is a separate area for those who want to go over this (again). Personally I am more interested in the main adult game which is the one where the majority of paying players reside. I feel development of the adult game in Scotland gets insufficient (no?) discussion. My only observation on junior chess would be that it is all rather pointless if there is a not a healthy adult game that you can develop into. Unlike most other sports, chess seems to be the one of the few that falls off a cliff when you grow-up (at east in Scotland).
Above did not answer my point 2 actually - what are strategic priorities for funding - have we defined that?
