        If you were unlucky enough to miss our last special Rapid (On Nov 8th) with Eric Hansen, then don’t miss the next one this coming Saturday – Eric will still be busy at the Gibralter Festival tournament so the field will be wide open for everyone else. Also, if you were fortunate to have known John Chidley-Hill then you will want to honour his memory by joining this his memorial tournament.
        The advance entry list will be updated frequently until Saturday – here on ChessTalk.


        Please let me know if you will play.

          Email sent by Brian Fiedler to prospective participants >>>>>>>

          Guys,

          Would be great if you could turn out to this Saturday’s Rapid Tournament at Vlad’s. Would anticipate a great showing like the one thrown for Vlad’s anniversary celebration last year and is a great way to show respect for “The Counsellor”, a guy that gave you a good game and was about as great a sport as any, even in a losing cause. He did a lot of pro-bono work and helped many overcome some of life’s hurdles. I understand that $5 of each entry will go to his favourite charity, that a sponsor is matching the donations and that his son may be on hand to accept and say a few words.

          Free food and beverages are provided and the prize fund is enhanced.

          Hope to see you there!

          Cheers!

          Brian.

          PS. I was “in the zone” in Guelph last week so watch out – no cheesy draw offers on Saturday!
