    Default strong top section

    Good to see so many strong players attending from QC -- top four boards! -- esp with the major snowfall in Ottawa.

    Very strange not to see Zach registered... ?

    Thanks for your support John. It is great to be able to have a GM, IM and a WIM in a tournament in Ottawa. I did get some cancelations but we get past snowfalls quickly in Ottawa.

    Zach is taking a break because the workload at school is pretty taxing.
