Results Nikolay Noritsyn Appeal to Executive of NAC decision on Canadian Closed

It is my duty to inform you that the board of directors of the Chess Federation of Canada considered the Nikolay Noritsyn appeal of the National Appeal Committee (NAC) decision with respect to the result of the final blitz playoff game for the 2017 Canadian Closed title and have decided by a margin of three votes to one with three abstentions to uphold the NAC decision and deny the appeal.

A more detailed majority report and possibly a minority report should be available by the time of the Annual General Meeting.
