One thing I noticed from last year that I have mentioned earlier is that the older players know where they stand and what's required at this level of event. The younger players tend to need three or four rounds before they realise where they are. Do we need to have a different strategy for younger players taking on a massive event like this? The younger players we have out there are the best we have and they will score points as the tournament progresses, I guarantee it, but should we have a different dedicated preparation route for them? Last year Alan and I were becoming more confident in every round of the squads ability, simply by socialising and working together as a group. I would love to be in a position financially to say to everyone,
"hey guys, we are all going to an outward bound location for a few days.. a week or so before major events" We are going to do some canoeing, rock climbing, orienteering etc and at night we are going to play some chess and talk about the event ahead. Is this realistic? We are restricted by budget obviously,
