So, posted today and has to be done today!

I would like to play this event at some point, but not this time for several reasons;

a) I don't think Israel is an appropriate place for the event to be held,

b) the costs are ridiculous,

c) the extra enforced free day, from which 'someone' will be making a small fortune,

d) I don't enjoy being surrounded by 'religion' - kind of hard to escape in Jerusalem!

Obviously not a post of much interest to the general chess-playing public in Scotland but...
...has anyone shown an interest in playing this event?

Andy, no interest - clashes with World Senior and Cappelle anyway
