I just received an e-mail from "CFC Newsletter <m.gagne@rogers.com>" that has a link. My computer is telling me it is spam. Is it?

and deliberately make the link non-functional by leaving out the final ".com" or similar part and putting that a few spaces later in English eg: [dot.com]...Mike Pence: the Lord of the fly.

Edit: I went to the website. Seems to be a Russian web page advertising Mattresses and similar bedroom furniture... but no CFC newsletter!...Mike Pence: the Lord of the fly.

I will start sending it out this evening. But go about your New Year's festivities, it will take a few days to reach everyone. There are bulk email limitations on our accounts, and with some concerns about the CFC newsletter account mentioned above, we will avoid using that account until we know what's going on.

Only events through June: Jeff Sarwer interview and annotated games, GPO, Ontario Open, and three games from other events.
I have contributions from most of the people who said they'd annotate games from later events -- CYCC, Zonal, Francophone Ch, Montreal Open, Calgary International, Calgary Invitational, BC Senior, as well as collections of annotated games from Terry Song and Jason Cao played over the summer.
The annotator for the Edmonton International has not delivered what he promised, so I have to make a decision about that.
I could packaged that all into one super-jumbo issue of 300+ pages...

Re: CFC Newsletter (maybe)
Nitpick from the 2015.06 issue I just received - the rapid tournament in Poland in which Jeff Sarwer played was in 2007 (not in 2009 as mentioned in the article). Sources include http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1477090
And...we are missing rating lists! There should always be a list of at least the top-rated players, so we can see how they move up and down the rankings. I thought that was one of the purposes of an online magazine - that there was no limit to "space", so that complete rating lists could be published in each issue. Of course - for an issue that's dated last June - do you publish the June ratings, or the current ones? (one of my reasons for changing the issue date to December or January).
