Hi to Ontario Chess Players:
Below please find the flyer for the FIDE round-robin tournament, Battle of Toronto II. In the Fall of 2012, Canadian Chess Consulting Service (CCCS) held the successful Battle of Toronto I.
If you would like to play, and put your name into one of the registration pools, please contact me ASAP.
Unfortunately, I must close registrations on Wed., Sept. 4, in order to be able to register the tournament with FIDE one month prior to the start. So there is only a short window of opportunity to register.
Also, could you advise any chess friends you think might be interested?
Thanks.
Bob Armstrong, Coordinator, Canadian Chess Consulting Service, Organizer
