  • Knightfall Chess Association??

    Okay, who are you guys?

    You are advertising your tournament, Bobby Fischer Memorial Open, on the CFC tournament listing, but there is no mention of whether or not the tournament is CFC rated on your poster nor on your website. I can't even find a name of anyone associated with Knightfall Chess.

    I got people phoning me about the tournament, and I can't even tell them if it is CFC rated or not, or if they need a CFC membership.

    Who are you?

      Googling the address given on their Web page (Suite 5700, 100 King St. West - i.e. First Canadian Place (57th floor?)), also gives me two legal firms, and a staffing service. :-)

        Reverse searching the phone numbers: 416-915-4118 is not found, and 647-551-3055 wants $$ to provide me with the info. Why don't you try phoning them, Bob.

        The 416 phone number goes to this business:

          Someone trying to organize a tournament that is not to be rated by the CFC? The horror!! ;)

            Facebook page with contact info. Looks like they are using clocks so fairly serious chess. Though it looks like a blitz time control.

              Looks like those Russian clocks from the 70s. Possibly not a current photo...and possibly not of their players. Does anyone recognize any of them?

                  No, that's okay.
                  I can trace it back from the email requesting the tournament be advertised.

                  I was just kind of annoyed that the flyer and website doesn't list any names for organizer nor TD, and I was stuck answering questions about this tournament.
                  Word to the wise: when you advertise a tournament, somebody's name should appear as organizer or TD.
                  Otherwise, who would register for the tournament or send entry fees.

                    Good. Very good. We managed to track them down and decided that no further action was necessary.

                        Please do it. I've seen their add in (kijiji?) first time. It looked suspicious to me.

                          It's a stock picture, and a video indeed. Chess pieces are a Russian grandmaster style, and probably nobody is producing them anymore.

                            Suspicious? Maybe the guys just want to play some chess?

                              I am going to go on my lunch hour and check it out. BMO and a lot of law offices in this building so its hard to imagine this being anything nefarious. That being said, its odd that there are no names on their website.
