The CFC Regular Chess Post – Sept. 30/13 – CFC 141st Anniversary!
Last week, CFC has its 141st ( and 81st ) anniversary on Sept. 24, 2013.
The Chess Federation of Canada was originally founded as The Canadian Chess Association ( CCA ), on Sept. 24, 1872 at Hamilton, Ontario. It was renamed the Canadian Chess Federation ( CCF ) in 1932, and for the first time included representation from all major cities in Canada. In 1945 the name was changed to Chess Federation of Canada ( CFC ) to avoid confusion with the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, ( CCF ), a political party that shared the same initials. Happy anniversary CFC!
