Slightly unclear on what exactly this means :
"This vote confirms that the full rights normally associated with a SCO registration apply to Matthew Turner."
Does this mean eligible to win Scottish championships? And represent Scotland?
Perhaps the wording of the motion could be made (even) simpler for people like me
On another note could someone clarify what the case is for Matthew to be allowed to represent Scotland etc.
Is there a family connection or similar?
My understanding (based on hazy memories of discussions at the time that may or may not be correct) was that the reason he got SCO registration was simply to allow him to avoid the compulsory ECF membership rules, and that this was granted as a thank you for all the help he provided at the Glorney coaching (for which I am grateful - was very helpful for me as a junior).
I do not recall any intent at the time for him to represent us internationally or become Scottish champion and don't understand what the case is for him to be eligible. That is just my hazy recollection though - perhaps this was discussed at the time?
I am more than willing to be persuaded - I've always got on great with Matthew, he is the only SCO registered GM I have played in Scottish classical events (I did play Keti once in London) which is something I really appreciate , and he has helped out at Glorney events benefitting lots of Scottish juniors including me.
I just haven't seen anyone make that case at all and don't really understand what that case is?
