Ian,
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you, but the 2 issues are linked. I would ask you to look at it from the disabled players point of view. Transport is an issue for disabled players.
With all due respect Ian, I do not like your statement that I am lumping it in with the remote issue. The two are linked however much you may not like it.
I would also remind you that with the new FIDE guidelines, that disabled players cannot be barred from tournaments. If a venue is not suitable for disabled players then the onus will be the organisers to provide alternative supervised accommodation. In the case that is not possible, play by remote is the only alternative.
I will tell you now Ian, that I have no intention of letting this issue go. As a member of the working party, representing the interest of disabled players in this matter. I shall continue to contribute to this work from that perspective.
