Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Why are Indians playing in Scottish Championship?
maybe because it is the Scottish OPEN!
#2. why were there so many intl golfers playing in the British Open?
maybe because it is the British OPEN!
i believe the second person, if it is GM Ján Markoš, is from slovakia, not slovenia – so the code should read SVK.

i looked at the official page of the tournament, and when i clicked on “jan markos” it says “SLO, federation: TAJIKISTAN” which baffles me completely.
this is off official fide site:

so…. hmm? who played in scotland, i have no idea – a slovak? a slovene? or a tajikistani?
