East of Scotland – No longer a standalone tournie?

[George Neave]

I think those criticising the Stars Barred (most of them players from the East too) perhaps need to have a look inwards. ;P

Pretty much just me, really!

OK finally felt I had to register despite the daft "must use your real name" rule.

Hugh - I agree. Quite simply beggars belief that anyone would go to trouble of setting up an event in country with so few active players then specifically exclude any group of players. Fact that it is most capable players on this just makes it seem all the more bizarre. Fact that this comes from same people who run national body is extremely depressing. It is little wonder the players putting most effort into their chess now play much or their chess abroad. Very sad in my opinion.
