Hi Vlad.
Maybe we should clarify if the deadline is in 6 weeks or June 4, as they do not align.

Bob Gillanders is currently spearheading a comparison of CFC vs FIDE Ratings after the March 1 adjustment. Some suggestions will likely come out of this.
I could be wrong, but I don't think the CFC Facebook page is the CFC Board of Directors Facebook page or the CFC Voting members Facebook page. It is the Facebook page of the organization including...
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...
I know there were players from NS there, so I presume the 3 highest province count.
The Guelph Bid was not a late bid, as there are no specific CFC procedures about bid timing -- in any event, I can't see that they prepared their bid once they had a look at the other bids. This is...
I must apologize for my absence from the meeting so far. I plan to post a report here within 24 hours.
I'm back. I don't think a detailed synopsis is really needed here. This is by far the...
Women's Chess in my opinion is a means of encouraging activity from that gender. I don't believe anyone has come out and said the average female has less potential than the active male. I fully...
This is year 5 for the MCF, the event that kept chugging through the pandemic without having to so much as taking a year off. Anyway, coming to you from the beautiful Metro Credit Union Place in...

4M Treasurer's Report
Normally I like to break down the Financial Statement into a simple in and out and will do that if it is posted before the end of the meeting.
As Treasurer, I have to...

IM Mark Plotkin is in the area and is dropping in on Fri, Aug 5 to participate in our PEI Open Blitz tournament. Hopefully a few players will want to come and try their hand against him.
We're back this Thanksgiving for the 4th Maritime Chess Festival. The last two years managed to be held despite the pandemic being in full force, so we're hoping for some great things this time...
IM Leon Piasetski is looking to see if there are any other players who might be interested in touring Cape Breton / PEI after the PAWN WISE Chess Festival. A general lack of rental cars this summer...
Good luck Jason. Sorry I can't make it this year, but hopefully 2023 will work
For the first time since 2019, the ANVO PEI Open Chess Championship moves back to the traditional summertime period.
The main Championship takes place Aug 5-7, and there is also a 2 day schedule...
The Canadian Chess Hall of Fame Committee (Larry Bevand, Hugh Brodie, Ian Findlay, Fred McKim and Stephen Wright) is actively preparing to receive, review and vote on nominations for the 2022 class...
Stephen Wright and Hugh Brodie would be good sources.
Atlantic Canada has fared better than most other parts of Canada, Covid-wise, although Omicron did hit us. In 2021 NB had two single day CFC events and PEI had two full CFC weekend events. Our local...
Merry Christmas from the Maritimes !
