Current version looks good to me. Blue and white squares are fine. I also prefer the crisp 4-pointed North American queen you have chosen in the font, to the often fussy 5-pointed Euro queen that...

"If you played 1.Qf5?!, you are only as good as Ulf Andersson, one of the top players in the world. Ho hum. If you played 1.Qc7, you are as good as Miroslav Filip, who was once a candidate. ...

If you played 1.Qf5?!, you are only as good as Ulf Andersson, one of the top players in the world. Ho hum. If you played 1.Qc7, you are as good as Miroslav Filip, who was once a candidate. Better?...

Wow, as a non-governor, I can post here. My goodness. Maybe permissions were copied from the Arbiter forum, which I no longer see.

The vagueness in the existing clause never caused problems, it...

At the Annual Meeting forum, I saw deadline times stated as EST. We're used to East-centrism, but why use Standard Time? Shouldn't it be EDST ?

Congratulations to the ACA. This donation exceeds the total of all donations to the CFC in the 2011-2012 fiscal year. I notice in the CFC Annual Budget, there is no figure (= zero) for 2012-2013...

I remember that Divinsky and I long ago discussed the sudden death of Elod Macskasy in his sleep. While I regretted that he had died so relatively young, Divinsky said: what a great way to go,...

Nemesis. Bob and Charlie always draw. Bob always beats Albert. It does not take much! Good example, Egis.

I agree that Albert might be allowed to have a zero-point bye in the final round if he...

Excellent example by Egis. Depending on the players and degree of nemesis, it could be a prize advantage to withdraw, even with a zero-point bye, were that allowed.

I'd say that a "valid reason"...

I wrote that.

The idea was to promote chess and the CFC at the same time. I was hoping that every chess set sold in Canada would have a "Passport" in it. It would be left in the leaflet racks...

That's like LOL, except to add "Good think I don't eat caviar, because I'm laughing so hard it would be coming out of my nose."

You have the exact same--and unenlightening--title for two threads on different subjects in close succession.

CCC Discusses Chess - Posts of Interest.

Did you do that on purpose?
...

Having been both kinds of player, I thought I might butt in here. On this exact subject, I have read only the postings on this thread. It strikes me that there are three main differences between CC...

It is bad for chess. I'm sticking with the same line as in 2008, on this very forum:
http://www.chesscanada.info/forum/showthread.php?t=222

There was fuller discussion of the subject on...

I think you need to be careful. Personal freedom is great, but not when it reduces the fulfillment of others. For example, to add an uncompetitive 11-year old to the U18 CYCC not only lessens the...

AFAIR: Zvonko Vranesic was named Canadian team selector at the 1973 CFC Annual Meeting. He chose Kevin Spraggett, but not D.A. Yanofsky. There was a major kerfuffle, and the CFC Governors (who in...

Crosstable of the qualifying tournament. Notice which possible team member scored the 2722 performance rating and tied for first place.

I think it's great when a qualified new (to the team)...

Hot property, eh? She has become a WGM (approx. the same strength as FM) at age 13. Here is a link:

Dougherty and Cummings finished with 5-4 each. Mike Murray (4.5) is indeed who I thought he was. His FIDE record shows three appearances at the Grand Pacific Open in Victoria, a convenient boat...

Three players from Canada. Michael Dougherty and David Cummings I am well familiar with, but there's just this sneaking suspicion that Mike Murray CAN is from Seattle and took advantage of the...

A birdie told me that at least one of the members of the Selection Committee is not from Toronto. This is not official. I do not own shares in the CFC.

Chicago: "Yes We Can"
Toronto: "Yes We Canada".

Was the last time USA held a big FIDE event the FIDE Congress in Atlanta? The US Immigration denial of entry to one of the delegations might...

Today is March 1st.

So if a player such as Kevin Spraggett declines, that place is named by the Committee, but if he is ineligible, it is from the Rating List. The distinction, which should not matter because he...
