Congratulations to Roddy - several people say he is their all-time favourite Scottish player.
He saved the embarrassment of a tie-break
My AGM proposal
Suggested method:The method of tie-break for the Championship will be (a) the results between the players involved (b) if this is indecisive then the Tournament Performance Rating (TPR) of the players involved.
Current method greatly favours a lower rated player and is unfair
The method of tie-break for the Championship will be the FIDE performance (w-we) of the players involved.)
I played below par as I have done in about 85% of my Scottish performances. Watching Andy Murray in round 2 was better than insipidness. My record says it all. O wins v GMs in Scotland. 8 wins v GMs abroad.
Disappointed the general public didn't watch. A grand crowd of 3 people turned up to watch the epic Buchanan v Muir round 9 game (Walter is my most common opponent, having first played him in 1970)
