2015 Canadian Zonal: July 9 - 16
This event will take place from July 9 (arrival day) to July 16 in Peter Clark Hall at the University of Guelph. In order to accommodate the 2015 AIDEF Championship in Montreal, FIDE America and the CFC Executive have both agreed to a 9 round event instead of 11 rounds as originally proposed. This will also permit the use of FIDE’s time control of 40/90, G/30 +30 seconds per move throughout the game.
AIDEF Championship/Quebec Open : Montreal July 17 – 25.
Congratulations to FQE President Bernard Labadie and his team on their successful bid for the 2015 AIDEF Championship. AIDEF is the international francophone chess association and this will be the first time for their flagship event in Canada. It will be held in conjunction with the 2015 Quebec Open.
North American U20: July 26 – 30
The second annual North American Junior returns to Kitchener as part of the 10th anniversary of the Kitchener Chess Festival. The 9 round event awards a GM and WGM norm to the winners. It is scheduled to take place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (formerly the Delta) in downtown Kitchener.
FIDE Kitchener Masters: July 31 – August 4
Also as part of the 10th Kitchener Chess Festival, the FIDE Kitchener Masters will follow immediately after the North American U20. FIDE has approved 2 Scheveningen style tournaments which will be valid for GM and IM norms.
FIDE CMA Futurity: August 8 -14 (dates approximate)
As part of their 30th birthday celebrations, CMA will be staging a GM norm event in Montreal shortly after the Kitchener Chess Festival. Details of this competition will be released presently.
