Quite a lot of heated and amusing discussion is talking place on various Ulster Chess websites about the league format and other related matters.
However a quick perusal of a few of the latest news items regarding government funding sheds a whole new light on the Ulster Chess scene. As you can see from the two news reports below, millions of pounds of government funding has been lavished on certain sporting set-ups, yet Ulster Chess gets nothing!
Irish Football Association gets £31 million. ????????
There is more!
Gaelic Athletic Association gets £61 million. ????????
Ulster Chess gets ZERO ??????????????????????
For the benefit of overseas readers I must point out that the local N.Ireland government is well known for lavishing large sums of money on undeserving and useless enterprises.
Even worse, there are a large number of useless individuals who are termed "Community Representatives," or "Community Activists," or even "Community Workers" who are plied with large sums of money just to keep them happy.
Most of these "Community Representatives" are too daft to play chess and have no interest in playing chess. What they do have is the expertise to intimidate and shakedown the government into providing them with cash.
The video clip below provides a satirical snapshot of the character exhibited by some of these "Community Activists."

If "Uncle Andy" started "The Knee-breakers Chess Club," "Red Hand Luke" started "The Red Hand Chess Club" and "Pastor Begbie" started the "Begbie Bishops Chess Club," they would be receiving government funding from all sources.
Pastor Begbie
Within a short space of time they would be the most well funded chess clubs in the whole of the UK. Within a couple of years the Ulster Chess Union would be the most prosperous Chess Union in the whole of the UK or even the whole of Europe!
The whole matter can be summed up like this;
The people who know how to shake down the government do not know how to play chess and furthermore have no interest in playing chess BUT the people who do know how to play chess do not know how to shake down the government!
2 Samuel 13:3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
