Minority Report

I guess I should start by posting something about chess so:

I remember one Latin lesson at school, this would have been more than 45 years ago, when I was the only boy to get the right answer to a question. "The minority is always right", my Latin teacher, about whom more, maybe, later, told me. I've always tried to live my life according to this principle.

For now I will just say that I have serious problems with the way we are teaching, organizing and promoting junior chess in England. I have given up hope of getting anyone in a position of authority to agree with me so I've decided just to do my own thing in future. Which, in a sense, is what I always preferred to do anyway.

I'll be much more specific, and, I hope, more constructive in later posts.
