  • Pub Chess Toronto/Sept 30 - CHESS TRAVELS WITH DANIEL WIEBE/Tournament/Casual Play

    Daniel Wiebe has been apart of the Canadian chess community for many years. To those of you who play more professionally, you definitely know or have played with him!

    On Wednesday, Sept 30, Daniel Wiebe will be doing a lecture on his chess travels in Europe this summer. Daniel got to play some games on his trip which he will show us during the lecture. Quite possibly, he will talk about his non-chess adventures as well!

    We really think this is going to be a very interesting lecture. European chess is much different than here in Canada. There's more people playing and not to mention a lot of them are very strong players.

    Daniel Wiebe's travels included:

    - Switzerland (Biel)

    - Spain (Barcelona)

    - Italy (Rome)

      Two-fisted drinking OK.
      Two-fisted castling not OK.

            This idea is simply genius. As the prize gets higher, stronger players are likely to try, but as more strong players try to win the prize the harder it will be for everyone.
