It was the example I agreed with.
However I recognise that we are nowhere near that yet. We have a long way to go and I sincerely hope the junior scene gets organised, funded and supported by the chess fraternity in Scotland. I am not aiming ANY criticism against any junior players whatsoever, au contraire, i feel that we should unconditionally support and guide our juniors. I also am not making or implying any criticism against the current system or the people working within the system around junior chess.
Rant over, time to go back into the cave :\
