I would like to highlight the E2-E4 organised events and suggest that parents looking for a reasonable step up from the usual Scottish weekend congress should look at these events. They are generally held in excellent playing facilities and the ones that Jonny has played in have been 9 round all-play-alls in which all the players are relatively close in grade. Although there are two games a day so it does not give you time to prepare for opponents at the time, being an APA the draw is available in advance so that you can still do prep.
