Hi chess fans, the EOCA (Eastern Ontario Chess Association) is pleased to announce the 2011 National Capital Open. After some experimentation with our last two Ottawa events, we are returning to our more "regular" format from the last few years. The only significant difference from, for example, the 2011 Ottawa Spring Open, is that we are concentrating with 4 sections rather than 5 sections, in order to ensure increasing the variety of opponents.
As well, the super early discounts are back! For starters, anyone who pays in November takes advantage of the $30 triple-early discount, and then the early discounts will gradually decline until onsite. Please note that any registrations/payments before the actual tournament are to be done with myself.
Please also note that I am currently at the European Team Championships, so my next evening at the RA Chess Club will be Thursday, November 17th.
Finally, I am delighted to announce that Halldor Palsson is joining me to help run this tournament! He will be kickstarting the event on Friday evening, and he will be providing Swiss-Sys pairings throughout the weekend, including the last round, where FIDE pairing rules are slightly different. Thanks Halldor! :)
P.S. Is there someone in your life who keeps asking what they can get you for Christmas? How about entry to the Ottawa Winter Open?! And if it would help, send me their email address, and I can help them register you! (of course, other holiday names are also available! ;)
Yours in chess,
