    Out of the 16 players, only one outside of Ontario and he is from BC - Michael Su.

    It's a bit disappointing not to see any other players out of Ontario. Too bad it clashed with Quebec Open which begins on Aug 12.

      We have reached 58 players at this point ( 20 - Open and 38 U-1600 )

      2 datelines coming up

      1. July 1st is the last date for early bird entry - after that, it will be $ 20 more for either category.

      2. Dateline for the official hotel will be July 12.

      Thanks for those who have signed up so far and if you are not in the list, please email me ASAP.

      1 more month to go.

      Cheers

        Finally, with one more day to go ( for the early bird entry fee ) , we have achieved our target in both sections of total players of 50 ( 20 open and 30 U-1600 ).

        Thanks to all who have registered so far and we will make sure it will be a good tournament for all.

        We have 58 players so far.

        Hopefully I can update the ratings for the U-1600 section by tomorrow or on Sunday

        Happy Canada day to ALL

        Cheers

          Congratulations Gary!

          Very impressive!

          Of the top 10 juniors in Canada (by CFC rating), how many have registered to-date?

            Sad to say , only 1 player of the top 10 juniors but there are 4 top 20 CFC rated junior players registered.

                Bumping up.

                28 players in the Open section and 52 players in the U-1600

                1. All players must be pre-registered.

                2. Only 1 girl in the Open section now

                3. 4 plaques in the Open section and 4 trophies in the U-1600 section.

                4. 8 top 20 juniors in the Open sections competing for the sole spot for the World Junior Boy section in Italy.

                5. 2 weeks to go before the tournament begins

                      Latest update on the tournament :

                      1. We have 4 girls in the Open section. We have also more than 10 girls in the U-1600 section. In total about 15% of the players are girls.

                      2. Of the top 10 players in the Open section, they are the top 25 junior players in Canada.

                      3. Trophies and plaques are delivered yesterday - 4 in each section with top girl in each section as well.

                      Thanks for your support for the advance registration.

                      We are going to close the pre-registration as our space is limited to ensure it is not too crowded.

                      Time for action.....

                              2. Of the top 10 players in the Open section, they are the top 25 junior players in Canada.

                              I was wondering how the top in Ontario was represented, some youth can play chess all summer. Out of the top 58 in Ontario 22 [in BOLD] are playing, which is the same as in the recent CYCC 22 played. I like the larger group of junior masters as opposed to the very small sections by age groups. It's how it was done in the old days. But the team spirit going to the WYCC is also a wonderful experience.

                                5 days away from the beginning of the tournament.

                                Open section really looks great with the addition of newly crown Jason Cai disposing of IM Kaiqi from his crown. There is going to be a great fight more than ever among the top 20 players but I am not discounting the other players creating upset results against these top 20 players. Competition breeds more improvement ( as I always believed ) and lets see who will win the Canadian Junior crown for the boys section.

                                As for the who will win the top girl to represent Canada in the World junior girl section, these 4 players are of pretty equal strength as well and with the entry of Cynthia Cui from New Brunswick, she is certainly the favourite but top seeded doesn't always win ( Aurora Open just proved it ).

                                Thanks again to all who have pre-registered and for those who have not paid up, please arrive earlier to make the payment so that we can start on time.

                                For those who had emailed to me to register but your name is not in the list above, please email to me again. Thanks

                                We certainly will try to make this tournament as great as possible and may the best players of the 5 days gets to represent Canada ( boy and girl ).

                                Vlad / Larry, thanks for your kind words and we will certainly try to make this tournament successful not just in terms of numbers but well organized as well.

                                Cheers to Chess in Canada

                                P/S - We have just got the big trophy and will engrave the name of the winner of the Open section. The last winner was David Zhang in 2012. Additional bonus and motivation for players to perform well. The trophy showed all the winners and started all the way back from 1970 and that has a 46 years of history. Wouldn't it be nice if your name is engrave there and the chance to hold the trophy as the winner ?
