Apology

[Alan Tate]

I'd like to apologise for some over-aggressive posts/rants in the last year or two - in particular to Linda McCusker, Donald Wilson and Angus McDonald, and probably others too. Mostly it was down to frustration and was not intended to be personal in any way. Alan

[Donald Wilson]

Alan, there's no need to apologise to me - I was probably a bit tactless in the comment I made that you reacted to. We have different points of view and different ideas about how Chess Scotland should try to achieve its objectives in relation to Junior chess, but I don't think we disagree about what those objectives should be.

Anyway, I'm very happy to accept your apology, without reservation.

[Geoff Chandler]

And me?

Do I get an apology. I travelled all that way to see an 8 move draw on the top board in the final round.



BTW you are looking more and more like Jonathan Speelman (with a beard) stop it.

Mark Orr played 9 moves in his last three games (he had two defaults - not his fault) and split top prize.
That is what I call a class act. Smashing venue and Alan's Queen sac v Matty Turner should win best game.
(I had to go before the prize giving.)

[Alan Tate]

Just accept it and move on Donald, that's what I say. Life is too short to hold grudges

[Geoff Chandler]

"Life is to short to hold grudges."

No it aint. The Bible gives you 3 score and 10 years. Plenty of time.

I've been holding a grudge against the whole world since the day I was born.

I popped out naked in a room full of strangers and one of them skelped my arse.

BTW did a brief note up on your game v Matthew. Somehow made it look like Mathew was
doing all the Queen saccing. Admit it, you kept checking him looking for a perpetual.

There are too many grudges in Scottish chess, especially from the older ones, but it takes a man to apologise and a man to accept. Interesting analysis of the game but if you could stop keeping this thread alive I'd be eternally grateful

p.s. sounds like you were born in a hippy commune...
