Players dont seem to want to risk their FIDE rating in events where the conditions are not completely perfect ie one game a day, and you can do targeted preparation.
Yeah, agreed. One euro per person can be added to congress fee/Richardson entry fee with no one (I hope) caring.
This suggests to me that people don't want to play when there is a possibility of losing their rating. What if we FIDE rate every open in Scotland? Then aspiring players get the games they want and people have no place to hide if they want to continue playing.
2 games a day might not be ideal but it's the best we've got.
