Chess Olympiad 2020

Chess Olympiad 2020 The Olympiad is a bit different this year due to the Pandemic sweeping around the world at the moment. Rather than a gathering of chess players from chess federations from around the world in a host location. The event is being held in an online format. Streaming on www.chess.com with live commentary and analysis. Scotland qualified from division 3, into division 2. After qualifying into division 2 Scotland struggled and failed to qualify further. The teams were made up of a mix of senior players and juniors.  Live streaming of the event can be found on the chess channel of  www.twitch.tv   in many languages as well as on YouTube :  chess dot com

The Lord's Prayer as I remember it

I always get confused when I hear different versions of the lord's prayer quoted at me.  Matthew Chapter 6 verses 9 - 13 Our father Who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever.  Amen
