    Re: Hart House Holidays Open

    Hi all,

    The only change we are making from the previous edition is that we're adding a U1000 Section.
    We continue to observe the -- 90 mins + 30 sec increment -- time control for all sections.
    Crown, U2200 and U1900 will be registered with FIDE. All sections are CFC rated.

        Hi Egis,
        Going with the old one hour for now.
        However, this will be discussed as a possible change for future editions.
        I've seen other people shorten it and I like the idea.

          Thnx.
          In Aurora, we reduced to 30 min. Though, I would probably keep 1 hour in winter season.

            Is there a pre-registered list anywhere? Some of us weaker players need to prepare.

              seems that they are preparing one, though at this moment the page is still empty https://harthousechess.com/2017/11/2...icipants-list/

                  Hi all,

                  I might migrate the pre-registered list to the club's website but for now... an early days list is on the original post of this thread.

                        I could not find any games of Franco, Ryan in any databases. Did he change his name?

                          Re: Hart House Holidays Open

                          The CFC shows Ryan Franco with 11 games played over 2 tournaments, so the rating is provisional. He had 5/6 in the Toronto Open U2200 section, and 4.5/5 in the recent Mississauga Open (top section). No games in my database either (probably since no one has supplied me with games from either event).

                          FIDE has rated his Toronto Open tournament with a resulting 1932 FIDE rating on 4 games. No USCF rating. He was born in 1987, according to FIDE.

                          I also checked for Franco Ryan with no results.

                            Search gives Ryan Franco on the Philippines chess federation rating list.

                              Thanks Hugh. Another grossly under rated FIDE player. Great.
