    This tournament across our border at Buffalo will be after Aurora Fall Open on Oct 21st - a ONE Day tournament. 4 USCF rated games and at a very affordable entry fee at only $ 20. If you have time that weekend, do consider going there for the tournament. Friendly environment and lets support them in growing Chess over there. Western New York Chess is unlikely Eastern New York and they are taking lots of efforts to grow their chess there.

    The following month on November is their Mayor's Cup which i have advertised in another thread. A 2 days tournament with a very attractive prize money. Last year was won by Canadian in both sections.

    You can write to knightsof64@yahoo.com for more information or you can write to me at ghua71@yahoo.ca if you have any questions about this tournament. I am helping them out on their tournaments.

    Cheers

      About 2 weeks to go. This is one week after Aurora Fall Open Oct 14-15. The Buffalo tournament is 1 day on Oct 21, 2017.

      The following week ( Oct 28 ) probably another 1 day active tournament in Kitchener by KW club at the City Hall.

      And then we will be in November ( 2 more months and year 2017 is gone ). How time flies in 2017

      Aurora Fall numbers are slowly building up. Early bird entry fee is coming to an end soon. Register soon...
