    Dear Louis, I once had a CFC rating of 2048. Does that mean I could register? Thank you, Aris.

                Greetings Mr. Hebert,
                Congratulations for winning the Canadian Chess Championship in 2009, more than 30 years after you won it in 1978. Can I induce you to share a game or an interesting position from the Canadian Junior Championship that was held in Saint John, N.B in 1975. Saint John, as you probably know, derives its name from Samuel de Champlain who discovered our famous river on June 24 1604. Happy festivities.

                  Do you mean that Champlain named the river? When you say it derives it name from Champlain, it means the name is some variation of the name Champlain, which it isn't.

                  PS: if you are interested in Champlain, I recommend "Champlains Dream" by David Hackett Fischer. The man had an amazing life. His relationships with the first nations were complex. I think he tried hard to work with the first people and highly respected them, but getting involved with tribal wars was not the smartest thing to do.

                    Four of Jean's games from the Saint John Junior are in CanBase. Nitpick: the tournament started in December, 1975 and ended in January, 1976, so tecnically it was the 1975-76 Canadian Junior.

                      Nitpick - Was the winner of the 1975-6 Canadian Junior Championship the 1975-6 Canadian Junior Champion?

                        1976 champion since there was another junior championship earlier in 1975 (won by Peter Nurmi).

                        Correction: The Nurmi event was held in 1974-75, and another Junior (won by Nigel Fullbrook) was held in May, 1974

                          Hello Mr. Best,

                          You are lucky; I routed through a few boxes and managed to find my copy of ‘The Voyages And Explorations Of Samuel De Champlain (1604 – 1616) Narrated By Himself”. It is of course translated. From the middle of page 78 Champlain describes the southern coast around present day Saint John as follows “…farther along there is a beautiful bay, which cuts into the land and has within it three islands and a rock. Two of the islands are one league west of the cape, and the other is at the mouth of one of the largest, deepest rivers that I had yet seen, which I called the River Saint John, because it was on that day that I arrived there…” A footnote indicates ‘June 24, St. John’s Day’, that is Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, Quebec’s National Holiday.

                          Please don’t take me as a scholar or grammarian, but I think there is a difference between ‘derived from’ and ‘derivative of’. I don’t know. Often I just wing it. You are probably right about my misuse of words. The art of writing to be understood is perhaps more difficult than mastering chess.

                          Thanks for recommending the book on Champlain. I also get the notion that Champlain highly respected the native people (who of course knew of ‘the beautiful river’ long before he did) and recommend the ‘Voyages and Explorations’ to you.
