Canadian Junior 2017 - Aug 9 - 13, 2017

Re: Canadian Junior 2017 - Aug 9 - 13, 2017

Are any of the players from outside Ontario?

Out of the 16 players, only one outside of Ontario and he is from BC - Michael Su.

It's a bit disappointing not to see any other players out of Ontario. Too bad it clashed with Quebec Open which begins on Aug 12.

Re: Canadian Junior 2017 - Aug 9 - 13, 2017

We have reached 58 players at this point ( 20 - Open and 38 U-1600 )

2 datelines coming up

1. July 1st is the last date for early bird entry - after that, it will be $ 20 more for either category.

2. Dateline for the official hotel will be July 12.

Thanks for those who have signed up so far and if you are not in the list, please email me ASAP.

1 more month to go.

Cheers

Re: Canadian Junior 2017 - Aug 9 - 13, 2017

Finally, with one more day to go ( for the early bird entry fee ) , we have achieved our target in both sections of total players of 50 ( 20 open and 30 U-1600 ).

Thanks to all who have registered so far and we will make sure it will be a good tournament for all.

We have 58 players so far.

Hopefully I can update the ratings for the U-1600 section by tomorrow or on Sunday

Happy Canada day to ALL

Cheers

Latest update on the tournament :


2. Of the top 10 players in the Open section, they are the top 25 junior players in Canada.

I was wondering how the top in Ontario was represented, some youth can play chess all summer. Out of the top 58 in Ontario 22 [in BOLD] are playing, which is the same as in the recent CYCC 22 played. I like the larger group of junior masters as opposed to the very small sections by age groups. It's how it was done in the old days. But the team spirit going to the WYCC is also a wonderful experience.

Re: Canadian Junior 2017 - Aug 9 - 13, 2017

5 days away from the beginning of the tournament.

Open section really looks great with the addition of newly crown Jason Cai disposing of IM Kaiqi from his crown. There is going to be a great fight more than ever among the top 20 players but I am not discounting the other players creating upset results against these top 20 players. Competition breeds more improvement ( as I always believed ) and lets see who will win the Canadian Junior crown for the boys section.

As for the who will win the top girl to represent Canada in the World junior girl section, these 4 players are of pretty equal strength as well and with the entry of Cynthia Cui from New Brunswick, she is certainly the favourite but top seeded doesn't always win ( Aurora Open just proved it ).

Thanks again to all who have pre-registered and for those who have not paid up, please arrive earlier to make the payment so that we can start on time.

For those who had emailed to me to register but your name is not in the list above, please email to me again. Thanks

We certainly will try to make this tournament as great as possible and may the best players of the 5 days gets to represent Canada ( boy and girl ).

Vlad / Larry, thanks for your kind words and we will certainly try to make this tournament successful not just in terms of numbers but well organized as well.

Cheers to Chess in Canada

P/S - We have just got the big trophy and will engrave the name of the winner of the Open section. The last winner was David Zhang in 2012. Additional bonus and motivation for players to perform well. The trophy showed all the winners and started all the way back from 1970 and that has a 46 years of history. Wouldn't it be nice if your name is engrave there and the chance to hold the trophy as the winner ?
