The CFC Regular Chess Post – July 22/13 - 2013 Maritime Open, PEI.

This year's Maritime Open Championship is being held in what might be called "the hub" of Maritime Chess, Charlottetown.
On the weekend traditionally reserved for the UPEI Open we will be fighting for the Colpitts Trophy, symbolic of Maritime Chess Prowess, dating back to the 1940's.

Play in the 5 round swiss, will be held July 26-28 in the Robertson Library Building, at UPEI. Already registered is IM Tom O'Donnell. The guaranteed prize fund is $800, and could exceed that value if we get a record turnout to the capital city (ie above 25).

NM Elias Oussedik led from start to finish, posting a score of 4/5 ........... using accelerated pairings effectively led to an extra round of top player match-ups, but also allowed a log jam of 9 players with 3.5 !!

Twenty nine played.
