Congrats to Tanraj S Sohal who drew 2 FMs and won $6,355. Hard to win that in a Canadian tournament. Maybe it will go towards travel expenses to other tournaments.

In Under 2100 FM Jason Cao, 5-2, won money.

In Under 1900 Owen Qian finished alone in second, 6-1, and
Eugenio Campos, 5-2, also won money.

The other big winner was Constantin Rotariu 6-1, won first in Under 1700, winning $5,448.

Also playing were Vladimir Semyonov Open,
Alexandra Botez, U2300 and
Ralph Gregorz, U2100 and a few more Canadians.
