Report:
This was the ninth Dundee & Angus Congress, the eigth to be held in David Lloyd Leisure, Monifieth. Given the economic climate and overpriced local hotels it was especially pleasing that our numbers increased again, 19 over last year's level at 150, our highest yet.
Part of the increase was due to a seeming flood of young juniors, 16 of 12 or younger, including several very promising primary school players. For me the performance of the weekend was that of Murad Abdulla. At 1746 he was lowest placed at the start and at 11 years old easily the youngest. He took a share of the grading prize after wins over Alan Borwell and Peter Romilly (the look on Murad's face was priceless) and a draw against Alan Grant
Everything else went smoothly and most people seemed to enjoy their weekend with early feedback very positive. The venue continues to attract praise and has already been booked for next year – 11-13 October.
