FYI - here are FIDE's "affiliated organizations". The Isle of Man and New Caledonia are the only ones that represent an individual political division. No Catalonia, no Basque, no Bavaria, no...
Halldor - can you post the PGN's of the games, or send them to me hugh (underscore) brodie (at) hotmail (dot) com ? Thanks!
I've notice the same thing on Chesstalk. A posting I made on the French side has over 400 views - more than most posts ever get on the English side.
Here's what happened at a no-castling tournament in India with 13 young masters.

Do any of these sites have "no castling" chess? I guess you could agree with your opponent before the game that you can't castle.
Can you think of any positions in which castling would be the only...

Shouldn't FQE members be included as per the CFC-FQE agreement of 2012 (which I believe has been renewed with no changes over the years)?

I was trying to find the crosstables for the recent Canadian Seniors championships. Nothing on either the CFC site nor on chess-results. Eventually I found then listed under "Excelsior Seniors...
I'm trying to think of three other high-rated siblings. The closest I can think of (using their max ratings): Spraggett: Kevin (2665), Grant (2377), and Jim (1855).

Any idea as to how many Life members are removed each year due to death? What about Life members with whom you have lost contact? Are they assumed to be Life members until their death is confirmed...

Did FIDE and/or the Scheinbergs need the CFC's formal approval before going ahead with this? Were any other Toronto groups interested?

Does FIDE have a definition of what a "disability" is? It would seem to cover a large number of physical (and not so physical) and visible (and not so visible) ailments.
Now 174,677 games in the "By Year" database - contains only games played in Canada. Includes tournaments as recent as December 30 (Pere Noel - Montreal).

For a round-robin event, why not charge a deposit of $50 or $100? The player gets it back after completing all his games (or providing a doctor's note). I've seen this done in the past.
So far - only one player (from Jamaica) has entered from any non-Latino country.
I assume that game was from round 4 (they didn't play each other in round 5, but they did in round 4).
Thanks!
Hi Halldor -
There is a game you posted in round 5 between Labib and Latorre. However - they didn't play each other in round 5. They didn't play each other at all in the tournament. Typos?
Can you post the PGN's for round 1? Thanks!
