  • 11th Annual Kitchener Chess Festival

    The Women's Zonal Championship will take place from July 27 - August 1 at Kitchener City Hall. This is the link: http://chessfest.ca/canwomen.html
    Scheduling has been tricky, especially since Zonals require a longer time control and more games than the Canadian Amateur, which starts on Friday July 29 and is linked here: http://chessfest.ca/canam.html

    I look forward to this event - it has been 4 years since our last championship. Already Constance Wang, our newest female candidate master has entered the fray.

          I have edited this thread's title to avoid mentioning the Women's Zonal tournament which is now being put on in Ottawa - see other thread.
