Some good 2nd hand shops in Haddington. Beautiful wee place.
Picked up a few chess books e-bay bound for a few quids. (is quids the correct plural for quid?)
They have a shop there that sells large homemade lollies 25p each.

"It was wrong and to be honest was a stupid mistake."
Mistakes happen, nobody died, Alex Mac was there.
If he let a mistake slip through then it must have been an awkward and very plausible mistake.
99% of us would not have a clue about draws.
99% of us don't even know what went wrong and 99% of us don't really care.
Everyone got a game, no player came up to you after the draw and said,
"I don't have an opponent and the lad on Board 16 has been drawn to play himself."
That's a mistake. (Did that happened....?)
Blame it on Carlos and the live boards.
He won't know, he is too busy tinkering with these things to read Chess Forums,
Just say Carlos set up the live boards with the players he thought who would be playing each other.
Alex thought you gave Carlos the draw and you thought Alex gave Carlos the draw.
So that is that sorted......Let's move on.
