All non-titled players entered by Friday 11th May (in two weeks time) will be entered into a draw with the chance to win a 2 hour coaching session with English Grandmaster Daniel Gormally. GM Gormally is currently rated 2520.
The draw will take place at the prize-giving on 16th June.

Just a quick reminder that all entries received before the end of this week will be entered into the draw with the chance to win a free 2-hour coaching session with Danny Gormally.
Also, McBookie are going to be releasing the odds for the Scottish Blitz and open the market later this week - hopefully this will be an enjoyable novelty for some.

;P
Just a note: If there isn't a higher contingent of players who qualify for the grading prizes entered then I'll combine the two grading prize tiers and reallocate for prizes higher up. (There's currently only 9 who qualify for U2000, and 12 for U1700).

There's a first! Tremendous. (unless you are using allegro grade and maybe I am one of the 9 in which case - terrible idea)

That market is now up for betting on McBookie.
The link for it is on the website banners
http://www.scottishblitz.com. Alternatively
click here. Once on the homepage the Blitz market is under
Novelty Markets.
Not every player has odds; however, if you want odds to be made for yourself just let me know and I can send them in with the next batch of entries.

40/1? =o I've been practising 3/2 for weeks now online - think I might just place a wee wager on myself ;P
More realistically, Alan Tate at 16/1? Seriously good odds there!

Market seems not to be open any more. I was joint bottom of the odds at 66/1 earlier. I need a new agent.

That's the market back up now.
They're going to be taking the market down every so often and keeping a regular eye on it seeing as they've never offered chess before =) .
