Scottish Championships 2019
#29
What a shame this is the thread to come of the event. First of all thanks to the organisers for running a great event to play in, it was my first Scottish Champs and won't be my last. Venue was fantastic, the pairings were always made and put online as soon as they were able, live boards were working for people watching online, and overall from a playing conditions standpoint, everything was great. Also congratulations to Matt on winning the title, he never looked in trouble in any round, and was a deserved winner.

As the person who took the draw with Colin in the final round... I had always assumed Matt could win the title based on the entry form, however when I saw the r9 pairings, I felt I had to confirm that with Alex to make sure I wasn't misinterpreting. Despite playing terrible chess for a few rounds at the start, if Matt was not eligible, there was an outside chance I could have become Scottish Champ with a win, so I would have to try everything. When it was confirmed Matt was eligible, I knew I was out of the running, and with a draw on the top board, Colin was also unable to win. I assumed Colin had offered me a draw also knowing this and was resigned to a quick draw on b1, and as I was out of the running with Matt being eligible, I decided to take it and go home to watch the cricket final.

If there was misunderstanding caused by the criteria that is very unfortunate, but it's not fair to level that at the event or Matt.
