Hi George
Some of the points I can answer just now.
- No Congresses
>>> these are run as local events out with the remit of Chess Scotland
- Are there any local leagues restarting?
>>> Perhaps 1 or 2 but again CS don't control these events. Some are holding back a bit until the turn of the year though.
- I presume there is no National League
>>> Here the difficulty is the venue and the number of players that take part - there are still COVID controls in place by the venues and we have to comply at present.
- What about the Richardson and Spens Cup
>>> These are under consideration by the Management Board and will let people know when we can sort something out.
- Will the 2019-20 events be played out in the same way Olympics and Euros football
>>> Difficult to say at this time but we are planning the Scottish Championships for 2022 - subject once again to venue constraints.
- More generally, is there anything going on at all
>>> We are planning to get things start as well, and as quickly, as we can.
YES - there are people out there working to bring things back up, and working hard at it as well. As soon as we have information we will attempt to keep you informed.
