Recognition for Chess in Scotland

[Andrew McHarg]

Without turning this into a political debate, I have spoken to ministers about this. The main issue is that it would really need to change in the whole of the UK. Depending how the vote goes in 2014 it may be easier for us to be recognised as a sport as it could be a single government we would have to deal with.

Another pro-independence post from a CS director

Surely good that a CS Director has taken it upon themselves to speak to ministers about the issue and try to work out what can be done to help? If the outcome of his enquiries is that such a change would need to be UK-wide then it's not a pro-independence post for the sake of a pro-independence post, it's a simple fact: dealing with only one government would be easier than dealing with two.
