| I'll keep this brief. This is fantastic news for Scottish Chess and a fantastic opportunity. I attended today's meeting and to be honest, expected 5 hours of dull debate and to be thoroughly bored. I ... | |

| One-off levy on players rated below 1900.
This is an absolutely superb idea. It has my full and unqualified support. Any particular reason why it's below 1900 and not 1950, 1850 or 1800? Personal ... |

| Yes, I'll second that Robin. Played Murad at Glasgow, with white, in round 5 and I think he'd even admit I had the better of him when we agreed a draw. Played e4 e5, Guioco Piano and he was in trouble ... | |

| Admin - thanks for answering my string of questions. Hadn't occurred to me about the trophies. Do wonder why charity status is an avenue that's not being explored further or was rejected previously, a ... | |

| Reading between the lines and going by it's conspicious absence from the calendar, I'm guessing there will not be a Glasgow Congress in 2011. Would I be correct in that assumption?

| 2 players on 8/8 in the last round. Brilliant as that would mean the original entry was at least 511!!!
If that was the case we could pay for the £5000 out of entry fees! Apologies, it was late ... |

| The idea of rewarding perfect scores is also interesting. Perfect scores are extremely rare, probably because most people on 4/4 just agree to a draw in the final round and pocket the prize money. I t ... | |
