with the so called "best" players
What a bizarre comment. Quite clearly those in the open are better chess players on average than those in the lower (on grading) sections and those at the top end of the open at the end of the event are undoubtedly amongst the best chess players at the event.
Or have I misunderstood the point of a chess competition?
We could of redefine elite chess players as "those chess players who are paid up members of Chess Scotland" and reserve the sensory boards for CS members only - plus occasionally guests sat on the other on the other side of the board.
