PubChess - GM Preotu + IM Song - Lecture & Tournament (w/ Prize fund!) - Wed. Nov 9th

[Geordie Derraugh]

Celebrate Canada's newest Grandmaster, GM Razvan Preotu and our newest International Master, IM Michael Song at Pub Chess Toronto on November 9th! They'll be discussing a new chess book they're co-writing! I'll be posting more details and pre-reg list in this thread.

We will have a joint lecture hosted by both guests, followed by a tournament with prize fund. The perfect score bonus is at $20 for this event!

Tournament:
$20 Entry Fee
Prize Fund
U1900 Section: Rapid - 4 rounds
1900+ Section: Blitz - 4 double rounds
Registration is at 6:45

Casual play is still only $10 so if you don't want to participate in the tournament you can still enjoy the lecture, watch the tournament, play some casual games and have a drink on us!

Lecture topic/lecturer will change every week so be sure to check back so you don't miss out! We have hosted lectures by internationally renowned players such as WGM Jennifer Shahade and GM Eric Hansen.

Getting there: The Madison Avenue Pub is easily accessible by TTC, as it is located very close to Spadina subway station. If driving, street parking is available and there is also a parking lot across the street on Madison Ave.

Lecture/Tournament is tomorrow night. Looks like it will be a great turnout (see RSVP list above). Please bring a chess clock if you plan to play the tournament, as we only have 10 clocks at the moment, and please also arrive by 6:45pm to pay/register. We have enough boards/sets. See you tomorrow night!
