the role of chess scotland president has been well documented, there have been many words written about who is the best candidate. My thoughts are that the President, not only to be hard working and conciliatory, is representative of all of us in CS. He needs to take part in many meetings with many other bodies and professional people. In short he needs to be intelligent, articulate and make an immediate, good, impression. In my mind there is only one candidate than can achieve all of that. I fear we may be taken less seriously and lose much credibility if the wrong candidate gets in. Everyone will have there own thoughts on this, these are mine. Please think carefully before voting, there is much more at stake than score settling or power grabbing.
