Congratulations to Mailli-Jade!

Thanks to you Pierre as well in working to send such a fine representative for the CFC at the last minute.

It is once again Canada's turn to host the North American Junior which gives an opportunity for participants to obtain direct titles. We need to present a winning bid to the FIDE congress in late...

Technically it is simply a new subforum. At worst it is silly. Stupid is a strong word.

In the long run, perhaps it goes nowhere but it didn't really involve a huge investment of time.

I'm a...

I would ask everyone to post topics that are not chess related into this sub-forum. Thanks.

You have to find your own vision of chess, and build it yourself.

Listen to me but not too much. Have respect but you need to be responsible for your life.

Try to consult a number of players...

Life is full of lessons. Sometimes positive, sometimes negative. What is important is to make use of them.

It is one thing to know and another to implement.

All of these posts are notes from...

Vladimir was asked about books on the Catalan and stated that Avrukh's original book on the Catalan was quite good and was based in part on the analysis done when they were working together. He was...

Sometimes not succeeding is critical to a later success. Vladimir Kramnik said that while the loss to Shirov was painful at the time, it laid the groundwork for his later successful match against...

I had the opportunity to spend two and a half hours with Vladimir Kramnik and several other chess players from around the world in a group chat on Skype that ended about 2:30 pm or so. It is always...

I think that the most that we could do would be to put it in another sub-forum like CFC news or English Chat or nonchess chat. It would not be a separate chat board. I don't see it as a problem. ...

Perhaps, but after spending a few moments poking around I am not sure that I have the privileges to implement that.

Looks like a lot of extra work to me.

Hopefully Trudeau won't pick up Obama's habit of spying on and harassing his political enemies.

Congratulations to Svitlana Demchenko on her achievement of the Women's Interrnational Master title achieved at NAYCC in Kingston.

Congratulations to Joshua Doknjas on his achievement of the FM...

I did a search on google for Breitbart. Breitbart news did not come up. I downloaded Duckduckgo which is the unfiltered and non-tracking search engine. Breitbart was the first link that came up. ...

Finally I am informed in a somewhat official looking email that people are logging in to my Ubisoft account from various exotic locales. My default is not to trust such emails. Not to mention that...

No wonder they declined the foreign policy Munk debate.

And another thing,... my netflix account is constantly being cancelled and they want me to click on a link to re-establish my account. I have never had NetFlix. I don't want NetFlix. I will never...

The Canadian Women's Closed Championship and Zonal would be the factually and grammatically correct title of the women's portion of the tournament.

I guess the do not call lists and robocall scams are not bearing fruit in the US so they are calling Canada. Unfortunately there was not a person on the other end and they can spoof phone numbers...

Its been many years since I watched it but I remember recommendations to trade queens early and to aim for games of a strategic nature rather than tactical slugfests. I like Nigel as a person and as...

What is astonishing is the excuses given and offered in the paid apologist media in Canada. Political correctness only cuts one way. The masters of the universe are not bound by its ever shifting...

We were looking for a breakthrough to popularize chess. This may be it.

That would certainly be a possibility. We would have to consult with our players. Also we might ask what happened in the past when we took that approach.



There is already a program in place...

When an advertising spot on national tv costs $40,000 for 30 seconds and the cost of creating a professional commercial is probably into the hundreds of thousands you would have to double or likely...
