Daniel Dwyer, the nine year old position five selection for Ireland is clearly a very useful and progressive player. He has a live Irish national grade of 1622 , a Fide grade of 1777 and a rating performance at the U16 Olympiad so far as 1773.
He scored 5.5 out of 6 at the Glorney event in Stirling playing board four for Ireland (U12 section) with a rating performance of 1802.
The Ireland selectors clearly feel he has merited his place in this top international event.
Should Scotland take players to an event of this nature (U16 World (Olympiad) level) if we are fortunate enough to have players of a similar ability and age to that of Daniel ?...
Or should there be a minimum age that players must reach to play in this top event incase they feel isolated from their own team and other players?
