| I don't think Congresses want to be charging anymore than £25 for a weekend event or they risk losing a lot of participants.
As for entry fees in England.. well who really cares, very few Scots pla ... |

| I had a quick read of the frist page then quickly decided to leave, they really like to make a big deal out of nothing.

| A 10,000 compensation fee? Just another example of why we should leave the joke that is FIDE.
Maybe I have mis-understood the situation, but surely no-one is suggesting that Chess Scotland would ev ... |

| A draw takes Sreeves to 5 points and a guaranteed share of the lead going in to the next round. If Green plays for the win with black and loses it practically puts him out of contention for the title. ... | |

| Well it's going to be a major shock if either Keti or Craig does not win it.
Green or Sreeves might be worth an outside bet, but odds of 3-1? I would say the odds of anyone other than Craig or Ket ... |
