    A beautiful day turned dark when the TD acted selfish rather than welcoming.

    12 humans thought it would be better to sit indoors at chess than enjoying a 24 degree sunny Ottawa day.

    OTOH, four of them realized their mistake and left without playing all five rounds, so maybe there's some hope for chess addicts elsewhere.

    Christian Collins not only learned how to do pairings using old-fashioned pairing cards, but still had enough focus to win the tournament

    Good showing with 15 players so the TD had to sit out until round 4 when a player dropped out.

    2019 CYCC U10 Champion Jonathan Han went straight through the tournament with a perfect 5 points, beating Ben Kellar and David Gordon along the way.

    Douglas Graham and Derek Wang came in second with 3.5 points each.

    - Christian Collins, TD

    David Gordon went through the field for a perfect 5 score. Kamal Balazadeh and Zhou Fang came in second with 3.5. We had a few new players - Eric Wan did extremely well.

    Thanks to Kamal for helping to run the tournament.

    - Christian Collins (acting TD)



    NOTE: there will be NO SUNDAY RAPID on August 4, 2019 (all TDs unavailable). Sunday Rapid returns August 11, 2019.

    Thanks to Christian for running the Sunday rapid for the past three weeks (JU)

    17 players -- more-or-less -- enjoyed the comfy chairs in the Sport House executive meeting room, while Jason Liang (up from New York State!?) made the most of his sitting time by winning all 5 games.

    A disappointingly small turnout on a beautiful Sunday afternoon was followed by a disappointingly predictable finish with the top-rated players -- Jason Liang and the TD -- tied for first with 4/5.

    Note: Jason has been doing a serious commute for this event -- http://www.uschess.org/msa/MbrDtlMain.php?16041488 -- so it would be nice to see a few of the local Masters come out to give him a harder time.

    Ottawa's last Sunday of the summer was far too beautiful to spend indoors playing chess... so only 10 players showed up for the Rapid, including two new players and two returnees.

    The TD raced out to a lead on the strength of two forced byes, and made less severe blunders than his unfortunate opponents to limp home with the win.

    NOTE:
    The four September 2019 events are a Grand Prix, where the player with the most points from their best three events wins their choice of book prize or the latest issue of New in Chess. With three events remaining it's wide open.
