OK apologies to Jim Johnston as he told me about the dunbartonshire AGM but I forgot to write it down...

when and where is the glasgow chess league this year (2013) and when and where is the dunbarton chess league

Something not quite right about this week's upload.

Programmer Gordon Rattray will have a look as soon as possible.

Apparently there were queues of Icelandic players waiting to shake his hand after, and quite rightly so! Superb! Keep it up mate!

Photo slideshow from the congress has now been uploaded onto the congress website home page.

Full results are now available in the events processed for grading pages of the Chess Scotland website.

I will update both the congress website and the Chess Scotland forum with a full list of prize winners over the next few days.

For those that won prize money but weren't at the prize giving to collect - Andy Howie, John McNicoll and myself would like to thank you for the lovely, expensive meal we had after the event and the several bottles of champagne.

Sorry, it is Friday. Cheques will be sent out on Monday, June 3rd, to all prize winners who were unable to stay for the prize giving.
