The collapse of sterling has hardly gone unnoticed at Tigerchess HQ. As an exporter I have to say that it’s hugely beneficial, and no doubt other UK businesses are also feeling the benefit.

Obviously it will also get expensive if someone tries to go anywhere which means that domestic UK holidays may regain their former popularity. But this in turn may be bad news for British chess because we may no longer get such cheap rates in Britain’s fading holiday resorts.

Isn’t economics a beautiful thing?
