  • World Open

    About 10 Canadians are playing in the Open section - including GM's Anton Kovalyov and Razvan Preotu. There don't appear to be many Canadians in the lower sections.

    Long time Canadian master and tournament veteran Victor Dzera is playing in the under 2200. He has been doing so for many years (decades?). May you continue with your magnificent combos Victor.

      Dzera also re-entered the 5 day section after losing his first game in the 6'day section.

        Current top Canadian GM Razvan Preotu with 2.5 from 3 rounds! There are 12 tied with 3 out of 3.

          There seems to be no site with the live games. Chess Bomb, where I would expect to see live coverage, has no live feed but does cover live games from the Faroe Islands Open! Is it possible that the Continental Chess Assoc asked for a large fee to provide a live feed?

              If someone would be so kind as to post the final position from Anton's game, perhaps we could discover why Anton resigned.

                  Final position of Kovalyov –- Petrosian 0-1





                  I am assuming that Kovalyov resigned when it was his move

                    Very clever to resign a position stockfish takes 16 moves to demonstrate the win.

                    Thanks for the diagram, Wayne.

                    I did look at several continuations after Qc8 by White but saw no clear win - thanks.
