Congratulations to Jacob on a deserved win.
However to give Donald a better chance next year can we make it more Scottish ?
e.g. the winner must have the SCO code on their FIDE rating.
Happy to propose at AGM if someone will second.
I WOULD second you on this one Andy, but fear I might be stricken by some dreadful disease for agreeing with you! ;P
I'm not sure what the general consensus of opinion is on the residency rule - the earlier thread it was discussed in was all over the place. I still think it needs to be seriously examined at the very least - Jacob was a deserved winner this year as the rules stand, but it still doesn't sit right with me that you can have your cake and eat it. :\
