Re: Knightfall Chess Association??
And even the pre-registration list looks suspicious. Really curious to see how it unfolds. The suspense is real! :p

If the number of pre-registrants is to be believed - a lot of people have already paid. I hope someone will visit and report here.

Just read through the entire thread... I hope nobody actually gave the "organizer" any money...

Re: humility precedes greatness
Vlad is mostly right. Our big tournament in Windsor had 1452 pre-registered, + 12 walk-ins, minus 42 no-shows for 1422 total players. This is the 19th year for this event.
Colasant's annual event has been running for at least 20 years - it has declined from 150+ players in its heyday to less than 100 last year.

Re: humility precedes greatness
It seems to me that the organizer is sincere though a bit inexperienced. We wish him well. We don't advertise non-CFC rated events on the CFC website. Bob Gillanders became concerned because he was being asked questions which he could not answer about the tournament and later about the organizers. Any chess is better than no chess. We just had a tournament in Windsor which reached as many as 1500 kids which was not CFC rated. Everyone seemed to have fun. There will soon be another tournament at Collasanti's which will also not be rated but will draw a large number of kids.

Here's some fake news that's up on chess.ca for a long time now:
The Chess Federation of Canada (CFC), founded in 1872...

Re: Kick 'em when they're down!
Originally posted by Nigel Hanrahan View PostBob's advice is sensible. Don't send them any money, find out the facts, if they're simply bumbling so-and-so's then push them in the right direction, &tc., &tc.. If they've got a brain between the lot of them, then they have to know that they're now under serious scrutiny and better get their "ducks in a row".
Mind you, I understand that many people, chess players included, get immense schadenfreude from kicking others when they're down. Don't let me stand in your way! :)
I would like to hear from members who are either planning to attend on the new date, or from those who have asked for a refund.
Please send email to info@chess.ca
I repeat my recommendation: Do NOT send any money in advance.Last edited by Bob Gillanders; Thursday, 2nd March, 2017, 06:59 PM.
