                      Warmest congratulations to Canada's first WGM, Qiyu Zhou. I hope the CFC is not dragging its feet in paying her expenses, as promised. Bob, this should be a priority. It is the least we can do.

                        I gather the expenses have now been paid. Thanks, Bob, for taking care of this.

                            Had a chance to play her 6 years ago at the Quebec Open and she showed great promise. Glad she made it :)

                              Good to see her out there supporting Canadian events too. You often don't get that with our titled players.
