There will be an informal, combined rapid/blitz match taking place this Sunday 6th August in Glasgow, starting just after 3pm and finishing at roughly 6pm.
Six leading Scottish players (GM Jacob Aagaard, IM Andrew Greet, FM Alan Tate, FM Neil Berry, IM Steve Mannion and our newest FM and Scottish Champion, Murad Abdulla) will be taking on six strong GMs/IMs who are all here for a training camp hosted by Jacob.
Spectators are welcome to drop in, enjoy watching some entertaining chess, and have a few laughs. The venue is All Bar One at 56-72 St Vincent Street in Glasgow’s city centre, where we have been granted the use of the entire upstairs area.
The foreign players are GM Sam Shankland (US), GM Mads Andersen (DK), GM Swapnil Dhopade (IND), IM Johan Salomon (NOR), IM Tania Sachdev (IND) and IM Sam Collins (IRE).
Results? 🙂
When are you weegies (includes adopted danish and other nationalities) going to head east for a similar thing in Auld Reekie? there is a Thursday night informal games in the bonny surroundings of Princes Street gardens. We can’t all afford the Edinburgh chess club seminars/lectures. Can supply Buckfast if it makes the difference…

In general I leave social policy to the government 🙂
Back from my hols. Best wishes to all at QC and hope the weight loss goes well. You near the magic target weight? Slipped back a little over summer myself but just a couple of kilos.
