    A good lineup! GM Nakamura moved back to New York a few months ago, he doesn't live in BC any more. I notice that you are using his USCF rating of 2757. (FIDE 2701, CFC 2302).

      While the living place should be corrected, the rating is fine:
      "The tournament is CFC rated. Other ratings including FQE, USCF and FIDE accepted at par. Where participant has multiple ratings, highest rating will be used."

            Hi Anton:

            Glad to hear you want more info on the upcoming PwC Toronto Open. Brian Fiedler, the organizer, does not regularly visit the site, and he has been having me do his postings for him. So I have just now sent him your post by e-mail. I expect he will respond to you by e-mail shortly. If you do not hear from him in a day of two, e-mail me and let me know ( bobarm@sympatico.ca ) and I will pursue it further for you. Thanks for your interest.

            Bob

              May I ask: What was the main reason? As I remember he was quite excited about Vancouver.

                I think you would have to ask him.

                  Hi Egis:

                  You'll have a chance to ask him , since he's now in the PwC T.O.

                      Bob: correct me if I am wrong: I went to the GTCL site to the announcement page and it gives an update for registration as Tuesday
                      April 14th being the new deadline. Could it be that the change has something to do with no mail delivery on Monday April 13th(Easter Monday)?

                        Hi Wilf:

                        I was working from the flyer, and Erik's e-mail. I'll check this out with Brian Fiedler. I would have to assume Bryan Lamb's website has the most up-to-date info, but we'll see. Thanks.
