Quote:Perhaps this notice board would be more harmonious if only non members of Chess Scotland were allowed to post here?You've let the cat out the bag now! I have been amused and bemused by the objections put forward by some against non-members making comments or suggestion. If the non-members had turned up at an agm and made comments then fair enough but on the notice board? I mean if a successful businessman like Tom Framer were to come alone with deep pockets and good advise on how best to run CS would you ignore him until he became a member?

More tournaments = better? Sometime but not always. If we agree its good to have individuals and teams recognized as national champions we would surely want there only to be 1 of each. Also, given limited resources players/teams may only be able to make it to one or other of the events with the direct consequence that each event and the titles won at each are poorer as a result.
