  • 'Special' Rapid on Saturday

    Another of our Rapid 'Specials' this coming Saturday. This will be a 'welcome to Toronto' celebration to new resident Evgeny Bareev - a top 100 grandmaster with a FIDE rating of 2663 ! Who but a Moscow resident would consider moving to Toronto in the middle of a winter arctic cold spell?
    Already we are getting a strong response to the coming Rapid with 16 pre-registered, mostly from participants in the Hart House reading week Open.
    Updates to the list will be posted on ChessTalk during the week.

          What does "moving to Toronto" mean, actually? Is it a permanent move - in other words, has he decided to relocate to Canada ( I don't have enough familiarity with the various flavours of potential ways to get into Canada)* - is he a "landed immigrant" or something more or less? In any case, WELCOME to the other North!

          *(thanks mostly to watching the Canadian Border Services informercial/TVprogram on National Geographic and getting more and more confused all the time)

                        Is this a one off? Or will he be showing up regularly? I'd love to make it out but I have plans this Saturday.
