Scottish Championship 2023
#2
Well. I must say I think this (Scottish as a weekend swiss) is a dreadful idea. Last year's tournament was, in my view, a splendid example of how to run it. Good central venue (Edinburgh Chess Club), good strong entry field, one round per day. Great chess, and excellent, deserved winner (Murad Abdulla).

Running the Scottish as a weekend swiss puts a random element into the equation (Friday night exhaustion, 2 rounds on Saturday, 2 rounds on Sunday, the swiss gambit on who you play) so that this year's Championship will be a lottery.

No thanks. I shall wait until wiser heads go back to one round per day.
