  • Maili-Jade Ouellet wins Montreal's Pere Noel tournament

    I think this is the first time that a female has won a Montreal 5 or 6-round tournament "weekend Swiss". She defeated IM-elect Olivier-Kenta Chiku-Ratte in the last round. Her only draw was against one of the four other ladies in the top section - Julia Tsukerman. Here is the last round game:

      She did. I have not seen confirmation from FIDE but it will probably come across my email when the FIDE presidential board meets in February (at last report).

          Yes congratulations. Quebec players are notoriously tough so fantastic result and apparently a first.
