Up to 88 players, 34 of which are titled. The testing on the new software went really well yesterday and I am pleased with it. Bug reports submitted and have already been actioned!
We have 88 players, just a wee push to go and we can hit that magical 100! Really pleased to see our norm chasers have entered as well.
Chased up the GBOR up yesterday as it has nearly been a year since we first put our claim in for the worlds oldest continuously run national chess event. Still waiting for an answer on that one and have asked if I can put a claim in for the longest it has taken them to verify a record...
Back to the event, we now have 14 countries represented including a party from Iceland!
Here is a question to get you all going. How many former Scottish Champions do we have in the field and can you name them (no cheating!)
