Hi Bob,
Is FM Bindi Cheng already registered? I've seen his correspondence in regards of registration on this forum.

Hi Caesar:

If he's not on the latest updated list, then he may have indicated interest, but I guess he hasn't registered/paid yet.

Hi Bob,
How about Andre Zybura? Has he registered already?Thanks for your information.

Re: PwC Toronto Open - USA GM Shabalov Enters Hunt for First

Hi Caesar:

As far as I know, the list was up to date as of Friday, March 27 - so he hadn't registered/paid by then.

Hi Bob,
When is PwC Toronto Open tournament list of players to be updated this time? I've heard about this coming Saturday. Am I right?

Hi Caesar:

Brian sends it to me for the weekend, but I am out of town on the weekends, and so try to post the updates late Sunday night when I get back or early Monday morning. See my update below this post.
