Chess Olympiad 2012

Post by Matthew Peat » Sun Dec 18, 2011 7:21 pm

I recently read, in an interview with Matthew Sadler, in the November edition of Chess that he wants to play in the England Olympiad team.

I think the event is in Turkey at the end of August 2012. If a full strength team could be selected you would get something like:

1. M Adams
2. L McShane
3. N Short
4. M Sadler
reserve: G Jones

I think such a team definitely has the potential to get amonst the medals. I wonder when the team is due to be selected, if there are funds for a full strength team, and whether McShane will be available.
