[Phil Thomas]

Great team result.

Could that be Clement reaching 2300 and the FM title ?

[amuir]

and a 3-3 draw in the 2nd leg

David Moyes certainly knows how to get a result over 2 legs in these European matches

[Clement Sreeves]

Great team result.

Could that be Clement reaching 2300 and the FM title ?

No, looks like I got to 2297 and then back to 2291 after the second game.

[Craig Pritchett]

Great all-round results ... Tremendous Basque hospitality apparently, too ... Well done!

[Alex Gillies]

Sounds like it was a very good event and result.

[andyburnett]

Well done guys and girls! Unlucky Clement, but you'll be there soon enough, and beyond if you want!

There will be a full report with pics and games in the December issue of Scottish Chess.

[Patrick McGovern]

Given the success of this match it makes the earlier arguments seem inane. Well done Scotland.
