  • Canadian WGM, GM, WIM and IM titled players ... the complete list?

    Is there a complete list of all our WGM, GM, WIM and IM titled players past and present? Preferably with an image of each.

    We would like to do a tribute site.

    Thanks in advance.

    chess.ca would be a good start or your honor forbids to visit the federation's website?

      The FIDE site lists all current titled players by country. I'll add the link to this post later when I get a chance.

              When we created our current CFC web site, we thought it was important to have this biographical information and we entered an agreement with David Cohen to use his biographies. We now independently update the CFC site.

                Understandable, that's a fine source a cite. I just finished reading most everything from that link, there's some really ancient stuff reaching back into the late 19th century. And, some really fascinating characters too.

                Good to read that the Cheese Barn is keeping player biographies current. Is there a minimum threshold for a chess player or organizer or director to be listed?

                  Thanks!

                  Just digested the list into bite sized chunks:

                  11 GMs
                  10 WIMs
                  38 IMs

                  Thanks again!

                    Canada has 12 living GM's (Bareev, Bluvshtein, Charbonneau, Hansen, Kovalyov, Lesiege, Preotu, Roussel-Roozmon, Sambuev, Spraggett, Suttles, Tyomkin); 1 GM-elect (Hambleton); 2 deceased GM's (Ivanov, Yanofsky); and 1 GM who was a Canadian when he got his title (Biyiasas)

                      Thanks for the note, I miss counted. And thanks so much for the other GM info too! Biyiasas seems to make the cut. I guess that Aman's GM title simply awaits FIDE's next publication? If that's all there is to it I'll create his square as a GM.

                      16 GMs
                      10 WIMs
                      37 IMs

                      Almost a full chessboard, eh? This is working out better than I thought :)

                          Our masters need to be celebrated.

                          Over the years there have been great biographies in the CFC magazines. Can they be scanned and pdfs put on the CFC website? I also wrote in Toronto Chess News some biographies on Toronto masters and was thinking that they need to be on a permanent site. If so, I'll probably write more in the future.
