                        We have about 170 players at the moment and probably will close the registration soon.

                        All sections well represented with 2 GMs in the Open section and at least 20 players in all sections.

                        Thanks so much to all who have registered and make this Premier tournament of Ontario a great success.

                        It means a lot to me as a organizer of this tournament and I will strive to make this tournament as best as possible.

                        With IA Danny Goldenberg and assistant Mikhail Egorov at the helm, I can safely say that this tournament should be a good one.

                            Thanks Aris for your kind words....

                            And finally the day before the tournament begins and we have 175 players ( 183 minus 8 withdrawals ).

                            We are setting up now and all should be ready in another hour or so. ( 8PM now ).

                            We have IA Danny Goldenberg as the Chief Arbiter and two assistants which should be adequate for 175 players.

                            We have at least 20 players in EACH section including the TOP section where we have more than 10 titled players.( 2 GMs, 1 IM , a couple of FMs and a couple of CMs ). All sections are equally tough to play in with so many strong players in the respective sections.

                            EMC is proud to be able to host Ontario Open in Oakville for the first time in history in Holiday Inn where you get to play in nice comfortable set ups for all the 6 rounds.

                            See you guys tomorrow
