Rampant Chess

The Glasgow Chess Congress 2008

This is going to be the Chess event of the year in Scotland.

see:

(a good congress site this one - other congress's take note).

I was talking to John Dempsey last night in Dundee - Four GM's are
already in as well as a whole cluster of IM's

(What is the collective term for a group of IMs. - a set of IM's?)

1st prize has now gone up to £1,100 - however space is limited
so all you guys from the Scotland Club had better start
applying now.

Hopefully my new chess book Rampant Chess will out and on
sale at the congress. Here is a glimpse of the front and back cover.

I mention in the book that Chess Forums (like this one) are an
outlet for nutcases....oops!

50% of this forum is not close enough to Scotland.
25% of this forum is not old enough to drive yet.
20% of this forum is still within a restraining order from public events.
4% of this forum only registered expecting pornography.

That leaves 1% of this forum who may go to the congress, and I think that percentage may just be the person who posted this thread 😉

Pity actually, cos I'd love to go, but I fit in the second category.
