Can I just wish everyone involved in the Glorney etc tournaments (only a Glorney in my day!). I'm now a senior but I still very warmly recall the buzz we all had in our Glorney team when we represented Scotland. It's very special and you will recall memories for very many years thereafter, not just of games played but of friends made and of new places visited.
To all competitors, make sure that you first of all just enjoy the experience. Play your games as hard and as well as you can (and always sportingly). Have fun, learn from whatever happens and move forward on the basis of what will be a wonderful experience, no matter what results are made. I hope Scotland wins lots of games, of course!
Enjoy! And it does sound as if the Irish Chess Federation are making a great show of this. When the Irish do these things well, it lasts long in the memory!
