It should not be about whether someone has done a lot for Scottish chess either.
Being the Scottish champion is about beating other Scots. It is racist I suppose, though a non-Scot can transfer. I disagree with people being champion of 2 countries.
The discussion should not get bogged down in the legal definitions.
I would like the principle of the idea to be voted on. If that is agreed the wording can be amended to be fair.
You really know how to win an argument Andy, don't you?
There is nothing 'racist' about it (certainly not on my part - to me it is simple common sense) but if that's the way you want to take it forward then you're on your own.
I hereby withdraw my seconding of the motion (if someone who knows how could kindly inform the necessary officials I'd greatly appreciate it).
