18 players braved the searing heat, to raise $175 for the C.N.I.B. (Canadian National Institute for the Blind). Brantford's Tyler Ensor, who is visually impaired, won the best unrated prize, winning a copy of Chessmaster 10.
Top prize went to journeyman Tony Ficzere who hitchhiked from Calgary to best Bob Gillanders in the hourglass playoff. Both finished at 4/5, picking up a gold and $20 Chapters gift card and silver and $15 gift card, respectively. Niagara Falls’ John Erickson survived the armageddon playoffs against John Vlasov and Paulo Nunes to capture the bronze and $10 gift card, while John Vlasov netted himself a $5 gift card. Roy Jones also won a copy of Chessmaster 10 for the 2nd place unrated.
