  • Rapid this Saturday

    The Saturday Rapid is going well so far this year- with several new master participants – David Cummings, Tomas Krnan and Peter Vavrak to name a few (and not to forget soon-to-be-master Nicholas Vettese) – so come try to score a win against young Nicholas before he makes it official.

    Let’s keep it going! Please let me know if you intend to play Saturday.

            That is the Saturday before the Toronto Open we would normally have a Rapid that day.

              Maybe you can do a bughouse that day to lighten things up? If it can happen I will sign up Robin van Kampen and myself.

                  I used to love bughouse. I may be busy that weekend, but I know there are some different rules. At Hart House in the early 80's we used to play that promoted pieces were passed to partner as the promoted piece, so you would need to have some extra pieces on hand. That is the only rule that comes to mind, but I am sure there were more. I know you could always consult with your partner. David McLeod used to be the 'double chess' expert. We used to play every Friday from noon to midnight for the entire school year. No wonder it took me so long to graduate.

                    Would it be too much to have a regular rapid starting an hour earlier from 1:00 to finish by 4:00 and then a 7 double round blitz bug house to finish by 6:00? Players could choose to play in either or in both.

                    For anyone not familiar with the name, Robin van Kampen is a strong Dutch GM - 2600 FIDE. :)
