Dear all,
The World Youth Chess Championships are starting now in Halkidiki, Greece until the 31st of October. Scotland has 2 representatives:
1) U16 Open - Sambhav Chadha
2) U14 Open - Jake Sanger
Good luck to both of you!

I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that the response has been so unexpectedly good that I have now done something I never expected to have to do (the bad news for any latecomer) - closed the congress to new entries (but as there is an odd number in both Major and Minor we would take one more in each).
We are at 134: the room given to the Open is full and the other area for Major and Minor is at a level where I would worry about becoming cramped. We will know better for next year if the large area could take more but caution rules for this year.

It's that time again. The dates are 4th and 25th Nov, 24th of Feb and March. Entry deadline 26th Oct.
I have completed entry forms and will send them to Karen Howie and Douglas Bryson for delivery to clubs and website calendar. However, I am happy for you to add your intention to participate on this site so that everyone can see who has entered.
Fee is £100 for team of 5, seven games each ----- great value!!!
Venue still at Carnegie Conference Centre, Dunfermline.

Looks like this is going to be a walk over for AD. Writing was on the wall when he had a meltdown over the Kremlin and Zurab insulted the whole African continent.
Nigel withdrawing and endorsing AD is the final nail in the coffin and I will be very surprised if the result is anything other than a resounding win for the challenger.

Haven't seen anything opted about this so here goes:
Live games are on Chess24, the official website and no doubt elsewhere. Pairings and results are on chessresults.com. Will post direct links later if no-one else does.
Just started...
Looks like the open teams opponents (Togo) haven't turned up yet, so could be a win by default. In the women's competition Monica's game (vs Gabon) is shown as 1.c4 1-0 so maybe her opponent isn't coming either. Keti is already winning massively after 8 moves or so. Today is not looking very watchable.
