Team Lightning

[George Neave]

Will this be taking place on March 25th after the last round of SNCL as has been the norm in recent years? I don't see it listed in the events calendar?

[Andy McCulloch]

I am pretty sure that on Sunday Glynis did say that it was on.

[Ken_Stewart]

Yes, it's planned for March 25 as usual. I'll be getting an entry form put on the website very soon, I hope; plus something on the calendar. I hadn't checked with Glynis until just before last weekend.
For practical reasons (given only one arbiter for a lot of games) we shall use the 2017 rule on illegal moves, ie opponent can claim game after first illegal move.

[Ken_Stewart]

So far 3 clubs have entered, each with 2 teams.
It would be helpful now to receive some more entries. I need to have some idea of the overall entry to assist planning, so please don't all leave things to the last minute.

[Glynis Grant]

Come on Ken you should know by now chess players always leave everything to the last minute!!

I told the lads they could sign up on the day once they knew who wanted to stay. That's what usually happens.

[Ken_Stewart]

I'm very aware of how chess players behave! I'm also aware that I'm not as young as I used to be and need more time to do things, so I'd like as much advance info as possible. Makes planning much easier.

To date we have 15 teams entered - 3 Edinburgh juniors, 2 each Edinburgh, Dumfries, Phones, Hamilton, Bon Accord, 1 from Paisley, Stepps.
