Prices go up on August 1st. I just got 10 more rooms at the University which will become available on Wednesday. Please put yourself on the waiting list as people change their minds all the time.
We have added some info at the Chess'n Math site....please take a look:
Go to www.chess-math.org and click on the box that says NAYCC in the lower left hand corner. Pairings, results etc will be appearing there.

If anyone knows any teenaged girls out there who are discouraged by the lack of female players, please tell them about this great event. There are 10 females under 18 coming up from the US (+3 others), but only 1 Canadian entered! Girls under 16 are 6 US, 4 Canadian (+3 others). It would be great to have more Canadian players take advantage of this fide-rated event.Leave a comment:

So we have set a new attendance record for this event!
Today I had our gang from Chess'n Math (Francis, Christian and Omar) do a site inspection since our numbers are larger than what we had expected originally. They were impressed with the playing hall, the residence and the cafeteria. We will be able to handle 450 players but we may have issues with space for the parents. We have made some requests to solve this issue and the University will get back to us shortly. Within 10 days we will be posting specifics about all kinds of stuff on our website. You can go to www.chess-math.org and click on the box that says NAYCC in the lower left hand corner. Pairings, results etc will be appearing there.Leave a comment:

With 24 hours to go, before the next NAYCC Early Bird ends, we
have already reached our target of 350 paid players registered!!
https://chess-math.org/content/2019-naycc/players-list
We've prob. overhauled our benchmark, as we have half a dozen unpaid
entries too, not part of the tally. Last 24 hours to get the Early Bird price:

Promises to be an exciting summer in beautiful Kingston!

We need less than 20 registrations to set a new record for this event!
Entry fees increase at the end of the month.
If you are hesitating because of lodging issues, contact me and I will see what I can do:

This will be a great championship...you really do not want to miss it!

Hi Vlad,
Based on a conversation I had with Francis this morning...I think he has bigger ambitions than that :).
He is a whiz in the marketing department and has been a godsend to our organization over these many years!
Now I have to find more space at the University :).

It looks like we are at 310 players!
We are going through the list to make sure we do not have duplicates and that we have not missed anyone.
Pre-registered list will be available before the end of the day and I will post the link at that time.Leave a comment:

Hi Vlad,
Francis, our marketing expert, called me this morning.
He said, let's go for 400 players!
I think we are at about 250 players at this point, including a nice contingent from the Bahamas!
The pre-registered list will appear on Tuesday June 4, 2019.
Still time to register at the reduced rates today. Tomorrow you pay more.

I would say that with two and a half months until the tournament starts, you are likely to break your old record.Leave a comment:

Rates go up on Saturday.
We are over 200 players at this point with registrations from 4 countries. The University is sold out for Premium lodging....we have found rooms at the traditional University residence for $30 per person plus tax.
We are still working on finding more premium rooms on-site.
I would suggest you register before the rates increase...we will find solution for staying on-site.
This is a great event which comes to Canada once every 3 years...make your plans NOW!

The University has informed me that all rooms are full!
Contact me and I will see what I can do for you.
Pre-Registered list will be posted during the first week of June.

Dark Knight / Le Chevalier Noir - General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
15. Have fun!
(Thanks to Nigel Hanrahan for writing these up!)
