Tromso Olympiad

[Alan Tate]

Although globally weak, 2300 is being used here as a figure as it is round about the minimum requirement to get into the Olympiad team. Something you could easily achieve in 2 years with a little work, certainly not 8 hours a day. You must have enjoyed working on chess at some point, Joe?
Money is unfortunately a big factor due to lack of opportunities in Scotland. I am fortunate enough to have family support, without which I would be working for minimum wage in a rented flat and not playing chess.
