Congrats, Edward! Also congrats to FM Kleinman who scored an IM norm with 4.5/9

Aman Hambleton just lay waste to a fairly strong UK field in a 7 round weekender. He finished with 6.5/7(2 wins over GMS) and full point ahead of second. Note there were three other Canadians playing...

Great news! It's a very stacked event and certainly deserves another spot. Those Cubans....

I'll try to play this year as long as the dates work out.

Can someone explain why the females receive the same as males? I'm all for promoting female chess, but this seems very strange to me. 95% of the entrants are normally boys yet the prize is split...

The 2012 Olympiad is in August I believe. When does the qualification list start and when are teams chosen?

Wow, I didn't know there was this #4 rule. In 2009, after I finished top 5 at WYCC in 2008, I was still denied skipping CYCC when I requested it because something came up. I was already top 10 for...

The deadline to register is July the 10th according to the flyer http://fideamerica.com/2010/abril/23/PAN%20AMERICAN%20YOUTH%20FESTIVAL%202010.pdf. I am seriously considering to play the Pan-Am...

When will the wildcard be chosen?

Yeah that would be helpful and appreciated. I may play an additional tournament depending on when the cutoff is.

Ok, that's good to know and I apologize for assuming incorrectly.

I will try but I'd say my chances of playing are 50-50. Can't miss much school since I'm in grade 12, so it will depend on the situation around then.

As well Michael, care to elaborate about all the planning done beforehand you did? The Canadian Junior organizers posted this, after my thread about the Canadian Junior:


Hart House Chess Club is...

Michael, stop focusing on the past! You've shown your obvious error. Sounds to me by your ridiculous responses that ever since Calgary expressed interest you just sat back and waited. Did they ever...

Yes, I think that is the a big chunk of the problem. The CAN junior isn't that hard to run but it's not too well known amongst new organizers or even the new generation of players as it's dwindled....

No worries, from what it seems like, your tournaments in Ottawa are doing great and I've heard some wonderful things about them. Keep up the fantastic job of promoting chess!

Is it merely a coincidence that shortly after I posted and complained about the Canadian Junior that organizers came and now we have a Canadian Junior? Seems like my action or according to you, lack...

Michael, is this a serious reply? Just because I live in the same city doesn't mean I am actively involved. I am not on the board, I do not attend meetings, and right now my focus is on being a...

Canada day is way too late. Victoria day has everyone tournament in Canada conflicting. Easter is less than two months notice. It could be done but it'll be another Toronto Junior. As well, the...

Does the CFC actually weigh FIDE and CFC completely equal when choosing?

I understand this is more of a moneymaking scheme by FIDE, but CM titles are also given away at zonals. You may want to announce that as some of the players might be interested even though I think...
