    As always Aurora organizers strive to provide the best for the players.

    A very good sign for chess players of all levels
    :) "
    We've looked around and even out of town, found one potential good. We've book a Legion location for 2018 already :) But only Spring and Fall. Summer - under a big question now.

      I wish I could play, but will be out of town.

      But I have your fall tournament in my calendar already.........now to protect the Sat./Sun (sigh).

        An Aurora International Chess Champioship maybe?? Sometime in the summer creating a tour of the Canadian Open, the Quebec Open, The Sault Ste. Marie International Chess Championship and the Aurora International Chess Championship.

        There is nothing to attract foreign GM's like a tour of tournaments close together - a 2018 Canadian Summer Grand Prix!!

        Just dreaming, of course..........

          Updated the list with renewed membership and requested byes (a link http://www.aucc.club/aurora-weekend-...tered-players/ )

          A hope who are on the waiting list - we should visit the site Thursday and decide if we can add more boards.

                There might be a couple or more late registrations today but your pre-registration lists have equal or surpassed the 2017 Canadian Open Chess Championship. http://www.chess-results.com/fed.aspx?lan=1&fed=CAN. I noticed that the Guelph Pro-Am has similar sections and attracted a continuous number of record attendances. I wish your team continued success! I guess that's the way to go...

                  Thnx for wishes :)

                  Yes, we're still adding players.

                  We started with only three sections five years ago. There were too many players in the lowest section to deal, and we started to divide it: U1600 -> U1600 + U1300, and now +U900. Though I would like to split the Open in future LOL

                  We're preparing files for pairings. Tournament results will be posted at http://www.chess-results.com/tnr294195.aspx?lan=1
                  You can see that links to all sections are there.


                  Players, please update your membership and bring some prove that you did it.
