The CFC Regular Chess Post – March 5/12 – FIDE Tournaments In Canada.

An issue has recently been raised re the frequency of FIDE-rated tournaments in Canada. Though they have not been plentiful in the past, more recently organizers have taken the bull by the horns, and been organizing an increasing number of FIDE-rated tournaments in Canada! This does not mean that we can be satisfied at this point. The CFC needs to look at what further support can be given to organizers in this regard.

But there have been recent FIDE-rated tournament, and future ones coming up:

Guelph Winter Pro-Am - February 11-12, 2012
Peter Clark Hall, Guelph University Centre
5 Round Swiss; A SWOCL Grand Prix Event
3 Sections: FIDE Rated Pro, FIDE Rated U2000, U1600

Hart House Reading Week Open - February 18th, 19th, 20th (Sat, Sun, Mon).
Great Hall, Hart House, University of Toronto, 7 Hart House Circle, Toronto
Style: 6 round Swiss in 4 sections: Open & U2200 (FIDE Rated), U1900 & U1600

Grand Pacific Open – April /2012 – Victoria, BC.

Canadian Open – July/ 2012 – Victoria, BC.

And there have been others, and others coming up. Maybe the organizers might post the details here for players interested in FIDE – rated tournaments. And also the details of any past, recent FIDE-rated tournaments in order to put the record straight on this.
