SNCL is on 24th Nov 2013. Hope you have a full team but if not I have several Woodmill Warriors who would like a gradable friendly. Please let me know ASAP so I can tell the boys to come along.

Not sure if this will get a wide distribution but it got a very good review.

"Computer Chess will make you scratch your head and wonder what its up
to - but there's no doubt you'll never have seen a film quite like it"

This kicks off today with three Scots taking part:
Mikey Groves, David Fowler and Nigel Chapman.

Just a word of warning about being careful who you let inside your computer!

My wife recently needed assistance to sort out a broadband issue in her PC and was redirected to a site in India. The guy took over her computer remotely to fix the issue and all seemed good, for about 2 minutes! Immediately she put the phone down the credit card company called asking if she had just purchased $3000 of software from a company in California! She had not of course, but all her bank, credit card, financial details were on her computer! Be careful out there!
