    Default Chess Federation of Canada - 150th Anniversary

    Members should note that September 24, 2022 is the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Chess Federation of Canada (1872-2022) and I would like to encourage provincial associations and VMs to advertise that fact in their own advertising.

    I have already inquired of FIDE how one would go about having such an announcement made on their site (which currently shows a similar announcement concerning the 50th anniversary of the Sri Lankan federation).

    Other than a large logo is there anything we especially want to feature?

    It would be nice to have a one page writeup about the founders, where the first "head office" was located, how many chess players there were in Canada at the time, how the National organization communicated with the provincial associations, what type of chess sets (height of the Kings) and size of boards were used in competitive play, the highest ranked players in Canada at the time, etc...

    Who has this information and would be willing to write it up?

    If there are voting members who can help me with sources, I'd be willing to write it up.

    Stephen Wright and Hugh Brodie would be good sources.

    Probably so would David Lavin and Jonathan Berry.

    As a starting point, there's a short historical section in the preamble to the old Handbook which is viewable on the main CFC website.

    For the book commemorating 100 years of chess in Canada (same title, the author D.Yanofsky) the extended history was written. However not that extended as Lloyd would like.
