Egis, Bernie, congratulations on a great tournament!

Just a quick note: for the U1600 section, data on the server is limited by the first three rounds, the results of Rds 4 and 5 are not uploaded.

Perfect, all rounds show up now. Congratulations to Sheng Tang who achieved the perfect score of 5/5 (as did Jeffrey Renfei Zhao in U2000 section).

Thanks Chris and Amon! :) Didn't have a chance to meet you in person yet, hope to do it one day.

Yes, indeed, bravo to all players! Egis, your waiting lists are becoming legendary, there is such a high demand for high-quality chess in excellent conditions that you guys offer at Aurora. Personally, I was also very intrigued by a smashing success of your U900 section. It's something to think about for all organizers who plan on building a pipeline of young players for years to come.

Thanks to Aurora tournament organizers for a great tournament as always has been.

A record turnout and well organized with on time playing schedule and no incidents.

Time for a new venue as both tournaments ( summer and autumn ) all maxed out.

Cheers for Chess in Canada
