Congratulations to Regina-Veronicka Kalaydina and IM Edward Porper for winning the AB Women's Championship and 1st Fort McMurray Open tournaments. A special thanks goes to Jina Burn for creating a fantastic tournament which attracted 40 players from all across the province including 15 participants in the Women's section. I am sure that the $7000 in prizes had something to do with that! Full final standings and prizes list is available at: http://www.albertachess.org/FMOpen13-Standings.html
