1st Dundee FIDE Chess Challenge

20 players participated in the first FIDE chess event to

be held in the University of Dundee. David Findlay and

Stephen Hogg (both Dundee Victoria) won the event with

scores of 4/5. Some excellent chess was played over the

course of the weekend some of which will appear in future

editions of Scottish Chess.

The event also supported the Pachyonychia Congenita

Project UK. This Dundee‐based Scottish Charity promotes

education and research into congenital disabling skin

blistering disorders and supports those affected and their

families.

Thanks to Norman Skillen of South Morningside Chess

Club for use of their chess sets/clocks for the weekend and

Jim Anderson who was the arbiter. Finally, I must thank all

the players for supporting the event in its first year and I

hope to see them next year.
