APA tournaments in Laos in recent months. It all looks a bit dodgy to me - am I right in this assumption?
I'm probably a bit late in reporting this but I'm pleased to say all three players have now been removed from the English rating list. Thanks to Phil, Sean, Nigel Short and anyone else who helped highlight the issue.
Phil must take all the credit - it was he who spotted the rogues. I just knew who to tell about it.
