Hi all,

As things are going at the moment with COVID-19, it is likely to be a while before the next over-the-board international junior event. However, the world of chess is already reorganising itself around online opportunities and this may include tournaments where junior teams representing Scotland take part.

I would like to particularly emphasise that selection for any international junior tournaments is based on good ethical standing (as well as grading and activity). Andy Howie has given more detail in other posts on how cheating is detected in online play.

Hopefully as time goes on, we can give more detail on international junior opportunities online.
