All Chess Scotland events currently cancelled, will be reassessed at the end April 2020 at which time the Management Board will convene to discuss the situation.

It is now time to consider what measures are being taken regarding the current events on the Chess Scotland Calendar for March and April.

Junior Events:-

• Scottish Girls Championships 2020..........Postponed - NEJCA
  14/03/20  (1-day event)
• Evening Express Teams 2020..........Postponed - NEJCA
  28/03/20  (1-day event)
• East Megafinal..........Postponed - LJC
  29/03/20  (1-day event)
• Inverness CFK 2020..........Postponed - NEJCA
  25/04/20 (1-day event)

Chess Scotland, unfortunate, cannot mandate the various Junior Organisers of the events, but Chess Scotland strongly recommends these events are examined in detail taking into consideration now that the government has entered the ”delay” phase.

  22/03/20  (1-day event)

  29/03/20  (1-day event)

  18/04/20  (1-day event)

We need once again must to take into consideration those events which are not organised CS events. At the very least we should contact the various organisers and offering sensible advice/recommendations on behalf of Chess Scotland.
