Largs Viking Chess Congress

I like to play FIDE-rated weekenders as in my view it gives me a chance to gain points. I play a lot, often against stronger opposition than Scottish weekenders provide in general, so the thought I might lose games and points would be weird.

Who it does affect are those who want to protect their ratings and chances of international selection by not risking anything/or anything much - usually those who play very little anyway.
