Brian Fiedler, organizer, is hoping to send me updated lists to post weekly.

Bob

[Bob Gillanders]

Count me in Brian. As they say, the cheque is in the mail.

But where are the class players from Toronto. In the U2000 section, I can only identify 4 players from Toronto (Metro, not GTA) ?

Maybe they are waiting for last minute, afraid we may book up on them, aka scoresheet controvery at SCC.!! LOL

[Bob Armstrong]

Hi Bob:

Note that we SCC players are fearless when it comes to opponents being able to prepare for us.

We put our games in the national CanBase database week after week, and then challenge our opponents that we'll still outplay them even after they've prepared for our favourite openings! ( delusions of grandeur???? ).
