Any updates on the entries? Would be nice to see the junior sections too.
Re: Commonwealth entries - Alan Borwell - 27-05-2014
Where is a Link to the event website on the main CS website news/calendar page eg to see list of entries?
Re: Commonwealth entries - Andrew McHarg - 27-05-2014
Click the image at the top centre of the home page. It'll take you to the Commonwealth Champs website and from there you can view the entries.
Re: Commonwealth entries - Alan Borwell - 29-05-2014
Thanks. IMHO it would be better to have a clearer link showing to the Congress website :-)

Looks like a full plane load is coming over from India !!- You could almost have a mini Indian national champ. Great to see such interest - it shows we can attract players if its staged well
I cant play as we booked the early (non inflated flight priced) family holidays in July - pity I'd like to have had a go at some of the big guns - perhaps next year!

Chess is big in India, I'm guessing anyone of IM or above will be funded for this. There are however at least 2 double entries that I can see... What about the top Scottish players? It's a bit embarrassing to have no one higher than the 2300s.

Are the Swiss pairings automatic ?
I would like to see more Scotland v India pairings and less Scotland v Scotland + India v India pairings.
This would suit all players. I am sure all the Indians travelling 4000 miles dont want to play themseleves every round. Let's have some flexibility.

I don't know of any system that would pair players against themselves. But if it does exist, I know who my money would be on.

I have some sympathy with Andy Muir's view.
Unfortunately FIDE does not!! To make wholesale changes to a draw would result in and title norms being declared invalid. (I think we have had this discussion before.)
I will be updating the entry list today and expect to add a few more titled Scots in a day or two.

Looks good. Thanks for updating the entry list Alex.
