GMCC at the Scottish Championship pt. 2
The Scottish Chess Championships drew to a close yesterday with GMCC regulars Chris Perkin scoring 3/9 in the International Open, Norman Lindsay scoring 3.5/7 in the seniors, and Evis Perdikou swooping in to scoop a Under-1800’s grading prize in the Sunday Lightning Championship with 5/7.

A Chess Joke…
Richard Evans, a former member of GMCC, just sent me the following uncannily accurate vignette from RAFA days (BTW, Chris’ shoulders really do move like this when he laughs…):

GMCC Players at the Scottish Chess Championship
Good luck to the Glasgow Montrose players battling in the Scottish Chess Championship between Saturday 5th and Sunday 13th. Chris Perkin is playing in the International Open and Norman Lynsey is in the Seniors. Chris experienced fifteen minutes of fame yesterday afternoon when he rose to board 14 (one of the internet connected boards) and had his game broadcast live to millions of viewers (potentially…). In retrospect, he probably wishes he hadn’t! Live games can be found here.
