    a copy and paste error I think - the standings for the second section are not complete (missing the bottom 16 entries or so).

      actually a page capacity limit at Chess Talk -- too many characters for one post ... and post was truncated ....

      Anyway -- the good news is that the event has been RATED and here is the CFC result for the Under 1800 Section

            YES - the score-sheets from the top 5 boards in each round are now at the Calgary Chess Club.

            The President has them - contact Steve Sklenka for the .pgn copies once Knut Neven, their Vice President enters them into .pgn

            Contact them directly for the 30-game pgn file. "Stefan Sklenka" <sdsklenka@icloud.com>

              When we dropped off the games to Steve, we specifically told him that you would be asking for them and we made him pledge to get them entered for the CCC website and for Hugh Brodie.
              Due to funding drops, we are very low on carbon scoresheets. We thought the first five boards would be a reasonable compromise. I would be interested to hear your comments on this Hugh. Also, we asked him about last year's games. Probably because it was such a massive pile of scoresheets, they did not get entered.

                Here is the Armageddon playoff, captured so beautifully by Bhavik Dave, with music added and engine analysis. Thank you Bhavik. This game was worth $500 for Agnieszka Matras-Clement
                Thank you also to our Armageddon anonymous sponsor!

                    I think all tournament organizers should be able (obligated?) to provide the gamescores of any games involving a GM or IM (which - for many - would be a couple of games each round). It can be as simple as taking a photo of both players' scoresheets (no need for a carbon copy - if you can intercept the players before the loser tears up his copy) and sending them to me.

                    If you still have last year's scoresheets - I would still be interested in them. My database shows exactly one game from that event (Findlay-Ginsburg playoff).

                      Enjoyed the playoff. Lots of pressure to keep the balance. I favor the tricky knights in those situations. Congratulations to Agnieszka.

                          Hugh, all last year's scoresheets were given to the Calgary Chess Club. I gave you Steve Sklenka's contact information. Hopefully they will get this year's games entered. Then you can ask him about last years.

                            Maybe I will contact the club and enter the games in my spare time.

                              Hi Tony,

                              I understand Sammy Yao is doing it for this year, but for last year, that would be great. You might want to filter the top 5 boards or so from last year, else there will be about 1000 to enter.
                              Thank you for volunteering. If you email me at ianfindlay2314@gmail.com, I can give you Steve Sklenka's contact information if you do not have it.

                                This should be my last post for Banff Open 2019. I wanted to share the Chessbase News Article https://en.chessbase.com/post/banff-...ageddon-finale Our Armageddon finale for the last 2 years has certainly added lots of excitement to our tournament and a special thank you to our Armageddon Sponsor. Banff Open 2020 should be bigger and better than ever with 2 gms have committed to play, but more on that after I do my e transfer to Dark Knight for 2020!
