Match night
I did not think it was fair that the Rookswood team captain took our player sheet away with them before deciding who was playing on which board. I believed this was against the rules?
Also their combined players were clearly over the 4000 limit, which at the vetlry least goes against the spirit of the competition.
This competition is about encouraging new and often younger players to compete, and when teams are fielding players whose ratings are estimated to fit in under 4000 rather than accurately estimating the players ability, all this will do is discourage younger players in participating in competition and may even discourage them from continuing with chess.
