Hello all,


The Summer Open is now less than 2 weeks away, and is shaping up well.
At the top of the list are International Masters Leonid Gerzhoy, Nikolay Noritsyn and David Cummings, along with a strong group of masters. 36 players spread across the field so far.

All details here:

Note that the last day to get an early entry is June 30th.
This will be the last tournament for those looking to sharpen their skills before the Canadian Open. Brian Fiedler will be by collecting last minute entries for the Canadian Open at some point as well.

See you all there,

Hello all,

The Summer Open at Hart House is only 3 days away!
Advance Registrations close June 30th before midnight.

We're a bit below the average in numbers, being a busy Summer, rich in chess activity in Toronto / Ontario. This will be the last tournament before the Canadian Open, and Brian Fiedler will be by at some point to collect last minute registrations for that.

Not without some serious top-tier competition though: GM Sambuev, IM Samsonkin, IM Gerzhoy, IM Noritsyn and IM Cummings top the list. A good spread all the way to the bottom of the list, competitive for everyone.
