      Missed it as I did not see it posted on chess.ca. Too late to reschedule now. Should be ok as our Charity event is smaller rapid chess event, we have a large chess community in the GTA.

            On behalf of Harvest Market and Hope Bible Church, I want to extend a big thank you to all the participants at the Christmas Chess Classics for Charity this weekend. With your generosity, we donated a ton of much needed items to Harvest Market who can now extend support to hundreds of family members in our community over the Christmas holidays. May God richly reward you all for your generosity.

            The tournament was a success and a lot of fun for most of the participants, some of them playing competitive chess for the very first time.

            We look forward to seeing you all again next year when we do this again in support of another charity.
