Nobody could object to the idea of Chess Scotland having sensory boards. In itself, it could only be a positive development. If the money for this can be found, then great. If however, the money to fund this is money that could have been spent on other things, then that's maybe a different matter.
However, I remain unconvinced that the benefits will be as wide-ranging as claimed. Sorry if that sounds negative, but it's just my opinion. I do not see how using the boards at anything other than, perhaps, the Scottish will generate significant interest/income. I still don't understand the precise mechanics of how this is meant to work. What's more, these boards must be worth a fortune - surely there must be issues with insurance and security if we are talking about them being used by different congresses and clubs?
