One of the World’s top players, Arkadij Naiditsch visited Scotland for the very successful first Scottish Blitz Championship and a recent simultaneous match at Edinburgh Chess Club. He is returning for the 2nd Scottish Blitz Championship this June.
Arkadij has really enjoyed his time in Scotland and wants to see chess in Scotland grow and prosper. One way in which the public image of Scottish Chess could be improved was if Arkadij was to represent the second oldest club in the world, Edinburgh at the prestigious European Club Cup. For this to become possible there would need to be a significant sponsorship deal in place. If such a deal was possible there are a few potential ways in which Arkadij could help improve chess in Scotland:
• Represent Edinburgh at the European Club Cup.
• Play in the Scottish Championships.
• Coach young and improving Scottish Juniors.
• Give Simultaneous matches with Scottish players or the sponsorship company.
For any potential company interested, Arkadij being attached to Scottish Chess would gain massive publicity. He is a very approachable and down-to-earth Super Grandmaster and would represent a great role model and ambassador for chess in Scotland.
If you are or know of a potential sponsor, please do not hesitate to contact me.
