AGM proposals
It's a very difficult situation Helen, and I'm not even close to 100% convinced of my own views on it given above!

At the moment, with the Scottish Championships being an Open event, there is room for manoeuvre (anyone can play but not all will be eligible for certain titles) but your question makes things much trickier.

'What if we revert to a closed event?' Players like yourself, Jacob Aagaard, Mark Orr and possibly quite a few others might be ineligible to play :/ Would that benefit Scottish chess or not?

Do we draw a line somewhere? If so where? At the moment we have a 'line' but not everybody thinks it's in the right place! Residency? Birth? (Grand)Parentage? Dual citizenship is ok but residency isn't? Or vice-versa? FIDE registration as SCO is a must?

I don't know the correct answer - I only know that it 'feels' wrong to me that people who don't want to represent Scotland (for whatever reasons) would want, or be able, to be Scottish champion!
