  • Saturday Rapid - March 22

    Now’s the time for new players to join the Saturday Rapid! We are getting more and more players competing for the class prizes – which also boosts the prizes for finishing in the top two or three. Last Saturday we had three masters and seven players below 2000 rating. The results >>>>> http://www.chesstalk.info/forum/show...sults-March-15
    Where are the new players coming from? Well quite a few are moving up from our ‘farm league’ – a gathering of ‘social’ chess players every Wednesday evening at the Toronto Coffee and Tea House where the motto is “Nothing goes as well with tea or coffee as a good game of chess!” For a look at the Wednesday meetup, go to >>>>>>

    And of course, thanks to ChessTalk, we are able to publish the tournament results together with the ratings updates every week a day or two after the tournament. We also list the prospective players for the coming Saturday on ChessTalk, so please email or phone me (or post on ChessTalk) if you think you might play on the coming Saturday.

    See you Saturday!

    Start of round 2 : Doug Bailey (left) squares off vs Artiom Samsonkin (who won)
    PS: As you can , no one was much interested in curling (on the big screen).

      Ian vs Hugh McNeil who only looks like R J Fischer - doesn't play quite like Fischer!

        A pleasant place to play - with music in the background.
        The players meet Wednesdays from 6:00 to 9:00 at the Cafe, 685 Lansdowne (near the subway station). That's tonight - come on out!
