Fantastic event. Thoroughly enjoyed playing and spectating. Well done to all the prize winners. Do we have to wait a whole year for the next one? I'll be booking my holidays from work as soon as the 2013 dates are official. A huge thank you to Alex and his team for organising and to our generous benefactor who made it possible.

Yes! it will take that long to recover from this!!

What? You are not going to be involved in the Glorney/Faber, British or Classic in the meantime?

Shame on you, you slacker. ;P ;P ;P

Nope, I am taking a couple of months off to relax. I think next event is the Lothians Congress!

Andy - Relax - Think that's a potential incompatibility issue.

Give him a break guys.

He is still recovering from the Honest Men puting four past the Steelmen on Saturday. ;P

Well done to the winners, organisers ... and indeed everyone who took part. And perhaps especially to Jacob for winning the venerable old trophy!

I feel for Donald Holmes, leading the championship and having to withdraw, having never won it.
Congratulations to Jacob on a deserved win.
However to give Donald a better chance next year can we make it more Scottish ?
e.g. the winner must have the SCO code on their FIDE rating.
Happy to propose at AGM if someone will second.

I WOULD second you on this one Andy, but fear I might be stricken by some dreadful disease for agreeing with you! ;P

I'm not sure what the general consensus of opinion is on the residency rule - the earlier thread it was discussed in was all over the place. I still think it needs to be seriously examined at the very least - Jacob was a deserved winner this year as the rules stand, but it still doesn't sit right with me that you can have your cake and eat it. :\
