2024 Maritime Open (Thanksgiving in Summerside, PE)

The 2024 Maritime Chess Festival is returning to Summerside, PEI once again this Thanksgiving. This is quite likely the premiere event east of Quebec this year, and while we can’t attempt to compete money-wise with events on the same weekends in Montreal or Toronto, we were able to attract GM Aman Hambleton last year with some appearance money we have reserved for titled players. First place in the Maritime Open is projected to be $750 with side events: Maritime Rapid and Blitz having projected first prizes of $400 each (all projections are based on 2023 numbers).

If you’ve ever wanted to check out a different part of the country, give the 2024 MCF some consideration. For the first time this year, the main event will be played in two sections, with the top group FIDE rated.
Registration is now open for all events.

In order to have the maximum promotional effect, I’m hoping I may have some decisions on one or more titled players by April 1st. Contact me if interested.
