    There are not enough players rated over 2000 registered either. :)

    Last year's Montreal Open: 25.

      This presentation of numbers is not exact...

      We have 22 players in section A this year already registered and 3 anonymous ones over 2000 that want us to wait to be announce. This make already 25 players in section A at 27 days of Montreal Open Chess Championship!

      On august 15 we have 111 pre-registered players. Last year we had 48 on September 4!!! On the list of 48 of last year there was not yet 25 players rated over 2000. Since our price reduction for early registration target other players, we shoud wait until september 11 to make comparison.

      See our post on Chesstalk last year with this link here.

      We will continue to target women and children for the next years no matter the pressure there is.

        I don't want to contradict you, but I do see 13 players of 2000+... I don't see how could there be 22 players with a rating above 2000 if there is only 20 players in the first section.


        But I'm sure there will probably be more players than last year. And as it have been a good tournament last year, most of these 25 players will probably be come this year too.
