We would like to partner with other organizers to hold tournaments as well. Please write to us for us to discuss in details.

Do give us feedback after each tournament at the end of the tournament where the players will be asked to provide feedback. We constantly hear feedback and strive for improvements as much as we can.

Cheers to Chess in Canada

Re: Elevate My Chess Canada Inc

You've done excellent work so far. The playing conditions in Hart House, Guelph and Kitchener have been excellent. Our spaces have been better than I've seen in the US, although one thing I liked there was having a master in the skittles room to play through your game. Finding ways to learn from our losses is a way to elevate our chess. Or playing in elevators, or on the top floor - you must have an event in the CN Tower!

As a matter of fact, if anyone wanted to experience a chess tournament that exceed expectations in US, you should try one chess tournament coming up this weekend organized by the Maryland Chess Association. Just google "Maryland Chess Association". Excellent organizers and playing venue, attractive prizes, live broadcasts of top boards in the Open Section, options on the number of days to play and re-entry, advance pairing texted and e-mailed, all rounds start on time, TD's will start your clock in your absence, free breakfast, almost everyone will be playing in wooden board and pieces and clocks are also provided and last but not the least you will be given a survey form before the last round starts for you to rate your experience on their chess tournament and organization to make it even better. All you have to do, is for you to find your board# where you are playing, set down, relax, enjoy and have fun! And before i forget to mention and salute Gary for bringing similar chess environment in Canada. Kudos!!!
