Scottish Chess Championships 2013

[Alex McFarlane]

is matthew eligible to win title ?

A Eligibility:
1 Those with Scottish nationality regardless of residence.
2 Those permanently resident in Scotland for one year immediately preceding the date of the Championship *
3 Those who have competed in the Championship (with eligibility to become Scottish Champion) within the previous five years.
In addition to one of the above the player must be a member of Chess Scotland at the beginning of the event. *
The term “permanently resident” does not include university students or other such residence of a transitory nature.

Until a grandparent is accepted by BICC, I don't think Matthew satisfies 1. I doesn't satisfy 2 or 3. Why don't you ask the International director?

I would say not eligible this year but maybe in future years with AGM approval

Why would the AGM approve him for future years if he simply isn't eligible under the rules? The AGM could vote on a rule change if someone proposed it (though I'm not sure why someone would?)

[Graham Kerr]

Will there be live boards at this year's event?

[Alex McFarlane]

Yes

[KevinCampbell]

Good luck to all taking part in the Scottish events.

Have a good week!

[Graham Kerr]

Yes

Excellent!
8 boards, or have you managed to borrow more from ECF again?

[Alex McFarlane]

8 CS (though only 7 working at moment I believe), 9 ECF and 4 others if we can get them to work.

So I'm hoping for 15-20 though maybe only a dozen tomorrow. (I've now issued a challenge to Dave Clayton and Andy Howie).

Provisional draw will be published about 8pm (but don't hold me to that).
