    Re: Canadian Open

    Do the two schedules for the 2017 Canadian Open mean two different tournaments? How are the standings and pairings organized with two different schedules?

      With virtually nil online presence or results, it makes it very unlikely to follow.
      I'm pleased you were diligent enough to figure out there weren't any Canadian GMs playing... I did not get that far.

        I did. But it's still distressing. Sigh.

        There's a link on the CFC main page about the tournament (hello? why is this not plastered across the top in Big Friendly Letters?) which takes you to one of the two Windsorchess sites. Apparently this one is Vlad's (hello Vlad, Earth to Vlad!?).

        That page has a link to "standings" which links back to itself.

        Sigh.

          More excited for the 2017 Canadian Open than the 2016 one.

                Maybe you should have played Eggy then you'd be right on top of the action.

                  William, I have often encountered this type of scheduling in American tournaments. Sometimes they refer to it as the "busy man schedule". One group starts a day or perhaps a few days late then the two groups merge at a specified point a few rounds before the end. It seems to work although I admit it's a bit mind bending to suddenly see a bunch of "new entries" arrive when the schedules merge.
                  For Sault Ste Marie, it is a sensible option for those of us that don't really want to play only one round per day.

                    I generated results for the Open section with swiss-manager and posted at http://chess-results.com/tnr230389.aspx?lan=1
                    Seems there were rating updates going from R1 to R2. I needed to adjust 3 players' equal ratings to eliminate guessing what was the second sorting criteria.
                    Still necessary to update federations (maybe titles), and some names.

                      Great job. I was thinking to do it too but I got busy at work and gave up the idea.

                          Thank you for doing this. The latest pairings and crosstables will be updated in the evenings about 1 am when the round finishes. We are burning through scoresheets faster than we thought we would. Results will be published as soon as possible after the last games finish.

                            Navid Chaichi though residing in Windsor still plays under the Iranian flag in FIDE.
                            GM Gergely Szabo plays under the Romanian flag.
                            GM James Tarjan plays under the US flag.

                                Now is not the time, while the event is going on, but some one should explain at some point why this does seem to be a "non-event"? In spite of a superior venue, there is an acute paucity of "name" players, and I believe the overall attendance is about half that of recent Opens held in southern/central Ontario.

                                A guess would be that players are voting with their feet....but why?

                                Isn't there an imminent AGM to discuss this......
