Altibox Norway Chess and Grand Chess Tour 2016

[David Sedgwick]

Congratulations David - does this mean you will be in St Louis (and any other locations where GT events take place)?

Maybe, but not necessarily.

Each event will continue to have its own Chief Arbiter.

I shall be required to be available to go to an event if so invited by the organisers of that event, or otherwise to be in a position to communicate by email, teleconference, etc, as may be necessary during an event.

Thank you for the congratulations.

Congratulations also, you've come a long way since the days of the Big Slick flood

I managed to rise from my sick bed to deal with its aftermath.

But if you're not there, how do you know the fire alarms will work?

I don't see that being a problem. There are precedents.

For example, as mentioned up thread, I was off sick at the time of the Big Slick flood.
