Alan/Alastair, I couldn't agree more how dissapointing the lack of live boards is. I'd even go as far as saying the website isn't the best either. The Euro Seniors website/live games were so much better.
However they have at least been getting the PGN's online to be fair.
Nice to have that little bit of insight from Alastair. I have enjoyed following the tournament, the entertainment level has been high, and is good to see our guys doing fairly well. I have been looking at this tournament before even thinking about looking at the Carlsen/Anand match.
You may be interested to know, there was a story with Craig about this tournament in local press.

I should point out that Craig is too modest in nature to do these things, however it happened as a result of myself contacting the press to get club stories and results printed. Any promotion of Chess in Scotland has to be good for the game, I suppose promotion of 'seniors' is good also.
