    IMPORTANT UPDATE RE PAYMENTS:

    Over an hour ago (22:00 Eastern), we have 170 players.

    Please go to the ChessStream ENTRIES page, and check out the last column, which is entitled "Payment":
    if Payment = Completed, then you are good to go, you will be paired!!

    NO ONE DESCRIBED IN THE NEXT 2 LINES WILL BE PAIRED (automated within the ChessStream software system):
    if Payment = Payment Info, then click on that link, which will return you to your custom payment info page, due now
    if Payment = EXPIRED or EXPIRING, then you need to renew your CFC membership with the CFC Office, due by now

    NOTE: Quebec players should soon be receiving a temporary CFC membership extension past July 1st
    that "trick" is necessary because ChessStream feeds off of the CFC database, not off the FQE database

    please note that only registrants who also PAY by June 21st are eligible for the early-bird discount.



    EXPIRED or EXPIRING membership
    You can check your membership fee here, Tax is included in the membership fee.

    Good morning everyone.

    I went to our list of upcoming events, and the link for CYCC Online was gone.
    I have been going there via upcoming about a billion times in the last 2 weeks,
    so if you want to check the results here is the link.

    https://canada.chess.stream/CYCC/

    The tournament was a great success, much credit goes to chief organizer Christina Tao and Chief Arbiter Aris Marghetis. It was impossible to keep up with these 2 dynamos. I fortunately got to sit back and watch the magic yesterday as everything ran on schedule. Amazing. Great work everyone. It was my honour being part of the team.

    This was the first time I had come across the chess.stream platform and except for a few minor quibbles I was most impressed. There is some information at the website called chess.stream (North Carolina based organization), but is the CFC planning to use the site again in future events? Any other comments?

    This is the first time I used this Chess Stream platform and is very impressive to me too. It is a platform built on top of Lichess. On the registration page, it will verify the Lichess account which is extremely important to have a correct handler.

    During the tournament, it takes care of all the operation works such as starting 180 boards on time, manually start the game when a player is late or absent, rebuild the board when there is internet interruption, handle all unforeseen situations, and doing onsite Fair Play checking with us as well. It is a very pleasant experience to work with them. It takes a lot of stress off from us and we can focus on handling other issues.

    I will definitely recommend everyone to look into this platform, the downside is it only works on top of the Lichess platform.

    If I am going to run another major tournament, I will definitely use it again.

    Subject: Congratulations for the successful running of 2021 CYCC


    Dear CFC president Mr. Drkulec,

    The past Saturday was absolutely fantastic for my boy. He played the 2021 CYCC and enjoyed the tournament totally. We can hardly imagine how Christina and her team could put everything together in less than one month. It is almost impossible without her dedication and enthusiasm for chess. How many hours and sleepless nights she and her team spent on working on this huge event. It is truly admirable. The event brought back the passion for chess to my son's heart. Looking forward to more tournaments coming up, especially the over-the-board ones. Just can't wait for them.


    Once again thanks for this incredible opportunity for Canadian youth to play, compete and have fun!


    Looking forward to the future,
    A chess parent

    Team Canada with 50 players officially registered into FIDE Online Cadets and Youths World Cup.
    FIDE Online World Cup : https://youth-worldcup.fide.com/
    FIDE Online World Cup regulation: https://youth-worldcup.fide.com/uploads/World_Cup.pdf

    After the original registration of 30 players, Canada is given extra 20 wild cards in the last few hours before the registration is fully closed.

    I am able to invite players who tied for 2nd place, tied for 3rd place, 4th place and tied for 4th place from CYCC Online to join into this incredible Team Canada journey. Now the team just increases from 30 to 50 players.

    This is the largest delegate that I have in recent years either in over the board or online tournaments. Canada is the 5th largest delegate after Inda, USA, Russia, and Georgia with a total of 1463 players from 82 countries registered into this event. This will be a huge event and a great experience for many players.
