    Default Golden Horseshoe Chess Championship - June 2-3, 2018

    Elevate My Chess Canada Inc is going to organize our second major tournament and this time is Mississauga.

    Location : Sandman Signature Mississauga Hotel

    We are experimenting with the placed based prize money this time with an unconditionally guaranteed prize money of more than $ 7,000 ( about $ 7,500 ).

    Registration is open now

    https://elevatemychess.com/golden-ho...-championship/

    7 sections this time. I think this will be the biggest guaranteed placed based prize money and biggest number of sections in Ontario.

    We are here to elevate your chess experience so come and join us for the fun and $$$

    Tournament venue is a big ball room and will ensure comfort for all. It is near 401 ( Dixie Rd and Matherson Blvd E ) and have lots of restaurant nearby. Free parking for all.

    We already have more 10 players signed up. Pre-registration list coming up soon.

    Cheers for Chess in Mississauga and Canada

    Hi Chess Players / Chess parents,

    We have more than 130 players on board now.

    Latest pre registration will be out this weekend.

    Today is the last day for the regular price. Price goes up by $5 after May 1st which is today.

    Thanks to ALL who have registered so far. We will try our best to host another good tournament after our Oakville Winter open.

    We hope to be able to match our number of entries of Oakville ( 181 or 185 )

    Cheers for Chess in Canada.

    About one month to go before we begin.

    We have close to 150 players now with another GM signed up and a couple of strong juniors as well. We have about 20 players in the Championship section now.

    The only section which is short of players right now is U2000 section. Good prize money in this section as well so don't miss it.

    Stay tuned for our upcoming newsletter this weekend.

    Cheers

    Bumping up and latest updates :

    1. I have updated the ratings and put the players in the right sections. Membership expiry date has been highlighted in YELLOW and hope you guys will renew your CFC membership before the tournament begins.

    2. If you would like to play up or take byes in any rounds, please email to info@elevatemychess.com

    3. We have about 150 players as of now and 18 players in the top section. 2 GMs and 2 IMs and may other titled players (FMs/CMs and NMs ). This will be a great opportunity for you to play against them and hopefully snatch some points from them.

    4. Very disappointingly, we have only 10 players in the U2000 section. All other sections are adequately filled up.

    5. Parking is free.

    6. Guaranteed prize at $ 7,400 which is quite unheard in GTA tournaments except maybe Ontario Open.

    7. We are about 2 weeks away from the tournament commencement on June 2nd and 3rd. Late entry fee ends on May 25, 2018 after which ONSITE fee applies. If you are still contemplating about this tournament, we hope you will join and support our tournament. The tournament hall can fits in 250 players and we are 100 players short of the maximum capacity.

    8. Tournament venue can be easily access through 401 highway.

    9. Lots of restaurant nearby.

    10. Latest pre-registered list with updated ratings and correct section will be out in this coming newsletter and on our website

    Cheers
