I hope that everyone is having a fulfilling summer, both inside and outside of chess. Here we are, already in August, and it is time to open registrations for the Ottawa Autumn Open. This weekender will be in late September, but players who pay during August can take advantage of a $30 triple-early discount!
Please check out the weblink at the end of this post, for all of the tournament details.
For players who have been to a few of my tournaments, please note some changes:
- Round 1 on Friday has been moved from 7pm to 730pm, to benefit travelling players
- Round 4 on Sunday has been moved from 9am to 10am, as some found 9am too early
- the number of sections are expanding from 4 to 5 (Top, U2200, U2000, U1800, U1600)
