:confused: Vlad, I could open lengthy discussion here saying that what will become dust is our mere bodies - what about the eternal part of ours? Lets do it on our next personal encounter. :)

For...

I'm not sure ...

What we have right now is the assembly of outgoing governors. The fact that it is online meeting and incoming governors were allowed to be part of it, is more of a bug than a...

This is from you post in another thread:


Why would you send out numbers without execs voted on them? I wonder what constitution has to say about this procedure ... :)

Yes, it will...

Yes. However constitution, as well as President's decision, can be changed if found wrong by majority. My apologies if you got offended by this remark - as I said, no offense intended.

Although my...

Hi Patrick,

I value your opinion, and therefore would like to ask why do you think this motion should not be retroactive. If majority of us agree that this change has to be made, what is the...

I believe, by "should be corrected immediately" (and not "updated immediately") Michael meant that motion to correct should be immediately put before governors for discussion and following voting.

Aris, you making excellent points.


Although it sounds very obvious, I wonder if there are many people so unselfish to think this way.


Completely agree. And that's why I don't see anyone...

Sorry Michael, I did not get your point at first. Yes, you've registered Jerry Xiong to be our official rep in U18 since there was nobody else in this category. Upon arrival, he was given a choice to...

I'm not sure how it is related to the topic but the case was very simple - Greeks allowed us to have 2 official players in U16.
So, we found no reason to register one of them in U18.

As per now, we have 4 clubs/teams who expressed their interest to play in GTCL League. These teams are:
Willowdale Club
Chess Academy of Canada
Annex Club
Knights of Chess

Line-ups are not...

Greater Toronto Chess League is happy to present clubs' competitions for season 2011/12.
Rules for both League and Cup can be found in the following link:...

Present for the meeting

I'm not referring to anything - it just felt good to rephrase JFK. :cool:


What "Jason Cao issue"? :confused:

Hopefully it's not the case here. :)

"... ask not what CFC can do for you - ask what you can do for CFC" :cool:
Are we looking for "whom to blame" or for "what to do"? Ken, if indeed things are done differently and with success in BC,...

Bob G., please forgive Bob A.! How could he, really? :mad:
He, probably, meant Toronto Junior. And before Annex Club jumps to claim their ownership on Toronto Junior 2011 :), i have to say that I...

Ken,
I know Patrick, and I know well what he is doing for chess, especially here, in Ontario. And for this I have huge deal of respect and appreciation.

The problem is that you took phrase from...

Nice move, Christopher! Yes, the question was asked, and yes, Patrick said at that moment that he does not see reason for the change. But have it lead to discussion? - No. Have sides presented...

You made me to do a little work ... :)

This is wording of section 1012 prior to the new motion. It is quite small and very clear:

How exactly under these rules "our juniors could compete in...

Mikhail,

While I agree that Michael's post is controversial and contains unsubstantiated personal attacks, I can not refrain from asking you again: "Where do you see somebody's personal interest...

I don't think, I have reason to apologize before these kids. I'm quite sure they didn't have any chance to go to WYCC if "old" rules were still in effect. So, I didn't hurt them by any means with...

Sorry, Mikhail, I have hard time to find any core of good sense among your emotional expressions. How do I act in my personal interest? Oh yes, I'm paid by CFC for every motion I submit! :D

When...

This is too much, Mikhail. Dora allowed Constance Wang to join WYCC team. Wow!!! We all, probably, should be thankful to Dora for not playing in CYCC.
Constance is a brilliant chess player, and she...

Completely agree with you, Lyle! That's why we need some rules in place.

The facts are:

original motion substitutes CYCC results with rating
amending motion fixes it to be in accordance with...

Original motion suggests to solely use ratings in qualification process.
Michael's motion suggest to use results of the recent CYCC when possible, and only then ratings.

So, the difference is...
