Inverness Chess Congress?

Inverness could play host to a weekend Chess Congress with suggested dates being the end of October, start of November.
We have been asked to gauge the viability of staging this event by asking for feedback from anyone who might be interested in this tournament.
The venue that has been suggested would not be viable without a good number of entrants, so if you would like a Chess Congress in Inverness please pass this message on to any of your friends who might be interested in playing.
It would be appreciated if you could PM me on the clubs Facebook page or through the clubs website.
It is credit to the organiser for trying to have this Congress here so I hope his efforts are rewarded

Kai Pannwitz V Paul MacDonald

Kai Pannwitz had a good tournament result in the recent Edinburgh Congress, Challenger section,he scored 3/5.
Here are two of his games:

David Cumming Annotated Game

This game from David Cumming was played on the Red Hot Pawn website. Red Hot Pawn is a more relaxed website for David, unlike the very competitive International Online events he is currently playing in.

This game is from the recent Glenrothes Open, five Inverness players went to the Congress, Andrew Newton and Kai Pannwitz were entered in the Open tournament.
Kai played a spirited game against his higher rated opponent. The Opening was a Benko and after the opening was over Kai had a slightly worse position but White let it slip Kai then pressed home his advantage to win a good game:

Training Game

This is a game played by Luainn against Fritz as a training game.
Luainn, like a lot of us here in Inverness,gets very few OTB games and so to get any practice at all there is only online or PC software.
Luainn has progressed a lot in recent months due to his studying tactics and looking, and playing, his openings as often as he can, as yet he hasn't played in any team games or congresses and so he has had an uphill struggle to get the practice he needs to improve his game.
Well done to Luainn for continuing to improve and I am sure he will be ready for his first tournament early this year:
