Thanks, don't know quite how I missed that given that I've strongly supported such a change for years :oops:

And of course all the best to Alex and Lara :)

Lara's brother looks a bit like Jonathan Speelman.
A better joke than the one I was going to make about Alex being in sore need of a haircut post lockdown!

Glad to see you up and about.

Here you mixing it with Jonathan Rowson and the Lord Provost of Edinburgh at the Edinburgh Congress 2009.

Of course not forgetting this from the same event.

Hi Geoff,

As I know you are a stickler for accuracy, the picture was from the Scottish Championship and not the Edinburgh Congress.

Hi Alex,

I'm a good guy. I always leave the door ajar for sticklers to pass through.

That was a great event, It was won by Ian Gourlay.

But much important, Angus MacDonald won the 'Chandler Howler Trophy.'

L. Ingram - A. McDonald
Scottish Chess Championship Congress Tournament Convention Gathering 2009 (one of them is bound to be correct)



I use to love they way these players shrugged off their disasters and took it all in good fun.
There were a lot of players chasing that priceless trophy.

The Three Amigos who made it all happen. Thank You.

Me! (in case you forgot what I looked like.)
