I am not playing because I have better things to do. I would prefer a Troon/St Andrews venue. I usually do badly at Scottish. I can get intellectual satisfaction at work and get paid for it instead. I recently stood in UK General Election and I feel drained. Chess is a decent fair game while politics is immoral. That's why I decided to sponsor the team instead of spending my money on other things. Dougie's miniature was the highlight of round 3.
