the budget is there for a reason and we should be restricted by it. i know that this is shameful but by putting out a begging bowl we are missing the real issue. That is junior chess is seriously underfunded. there are only so many times we can rely on generosity of the general chess public so this tactic will only take the juniors so far. what is required is a longer term solution. i do not know what this solution would be but i do know that Robin's appeal, no matter how well intended, is not the way ahead.
