Equipment for Disabled Players

[David G Congalton]

A compromise for Prestwick has been suggested to me.

I believe, correct me if I’m wrong, that the incremental time control directly affects only two players at the moment that I am aware of, you and John Dearie.

I am more than happy to accommodate John, should he wish to enter and would, with the assistance of the control team employ a different time control for John and his five opponents. We chess players have to stick together so I am sure the opponents would have no issue with this. Besides the organiser reserves the right etc.. The suggested time control was all moves in 2 hours, as last year.

As for your good self, I assume you personally have no problem playing to the incremental time control and would be happy to bring along your talking clock.

We can deal with any other issues on a by issue basis, as most, if not all, voluntary organisers have done for a good number of years.

So, give the man £30.00 so he can buy it and then donate it to Chess Scotland so that is available for Prestwick 2013 and other tournaments. Simples - as the meerkat would say?

Sorry George, are you suggesting I give out the £30 or am I buying the clock?
