Commonwealth Championships

[Phil Thomas]

Andy, I am unemployed so will not make any donations. As goodwill I offer to do coaching.

the last time the Glorney was held in Scotland Andy did do some coaching. Unpaid and he would not even accept expenses for his journey into Strathclyde Uni.


How about some joined up thinking here.

The Scottish nominations don't have any coaching lined up specifically for the event.
Andy Muir isn't playing the last four rounds in the Commonwealth.


Anybody out there care to join up the dots ?

I know Andy Burnett was always going to struggle with his concentration today against Tanya Sachdev (all the pics of her on the blog is bit of a giveway :x ). Even so that collapse at end today really was a bit of a shocker

On the results page at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.scottishchesschamp.co.uk/results/championship/">http://www.scottishchesschamp.co.uk/res ... mpionship/</a><!-- m --> there is 'FLAG' column for both white/black. It is either blank or marked "w' or 'i' but what does it mean?

Burnett-IM Sachdev was a good game today, wide open and needing accurate play from both. Liked the finish to IM Wang-FM Giulian (Rxf7!). Have been wondering how long it would be before FM Tate sacrificed his queen, still waiting although he did exchange his Queen for 2 Rooks against Olson today.

Hey! The 'collapse' was one bad move George (...f5, a miscalculation) after I decided to play for the win (I could probably have 'repeated' with ...Kh7!?).

27 players on 3/5 and I have to play my brother? Are you serious??
I'm really not impressed with this at all.
