  • 2017 1st qtr - Chess tournaments in GTA area - Regular rated tournaments

    CFC website doesn't have any information on the above. As i understand from tradition, there should be the followings coming up :

    1. Guelph Pro-Am - Jan ? - No website
    2. Hart house Toronto - Feb 18-20, 2017
    3. Kitchener - Mar ?
    4. Aurora - April 1-2, 2017

    Looks better now with some updates. Jan - early April. Still missing Guelph and Kitchener

    Where can we find if there are any other tournaments in this area ? We have already lost tournaments organized by Brian Lamb so hopefully there will not be any further drop outs by any other organizers.....that will be a disaster for chess in this region

    As a parent and player, I would like to be able to know ahead of the tournaments ahead for planning purpose. Can we expect the chess organizers to submit their dates to Bob Gillanders ( at least on a quarterly basis ) and for him to update in the CFC websites ?

    I think organizers expect the players to sign up early but they have to do their part as well which is to plan early and advertise early as well for everyone to know early. We can't be in the dark until the last 1-2 months when we see a tournament crops up in chess talk and then the organizers expect a good turnout.

    It will be absolutely great/fantastic if we could have a year schedule ahead. That way, parents can pick and choose which tournament that their kids can play and skip those that they can't play.

    2017 is coming up in 2 months time and hopefully we can have a nice change in this chess tournament schedule.

    Thanks

    I usually play in a spring tournament in Ontario and I need to plan ahead of time.
    Check out the 2017 BC chess schedule, already confirmed up to June. http://www.chess.bc.ca/

        I always like to plan ahead as well. Good to see the schedule in one website ( all lined up but not in sequence by date : ( ). I hope Ontario has a similar one. :)

          Good to know that Aurora has changed the Mar tournament to early April. Always well organized and will definitely attend.

          Thanks Bernie

                We have been booking the Legion as far in advance as they will let us, even then there are some weekends not available. April 1 & 2 made sense for us, also wanted to avoid March break,.. btw CFC hasn't yet posted all tournaments for 2017

                  Hi Bernie,

                  Did you inform Bob Gillanders of your tournament schedule for year 2017 ? Anyway, I will write to him to include your tournaments and Hart House in the CFc website as soon as possible.

                  Thanks

                    Will Holidays Open be 5 or 6 rounds? Will there be a late round on Friday?
