The Hart House Chess club will be hosting the Reading Week Open on the family day weekend in February again this year. The tournament will be 6 rounds, with 2 rounds each on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Our website has not yet been updated with all the details so I've essentially copied and pasted the flyer here. Note that both the Open and U2200 sections are FIDE rated.

Please help us out by registering early and RSVPing to the facebook event. It's an open event so you can invite your facebook friends as well: http://www.facebook.com/events/166936563409876/
