Grandparents rule
#21
I cannot see any good reason that anyone can have for opposing such a change in the rules. As has been said by others, there should be no problems with FIDE with adopting this eligibility criteria. Are we really worried that selectors are going to start flying in ringers from around the globe?

I have some sympathy with those wanting players that represent the country putting something back into chess in Scotland, but that surely should be criteria that all players should meet, not just those that will only qualify by grandparentage.

I hope Matthew doesn't feel uncomfortable with the discussion of this topic.
