      Here is some additional information:

      This event is the continuation of a series of tournaments held in memory of International Master Géza Füster. He was born in Hungary and lived in Toronto from 1953 until his death in 1990.

      The most recent tournament held in his memory was in 2019 and was very well received by the participants.

      Hosting: The overall event is hosted by Hungaria Sport Canada and The Hungarian Canadian Club. The chess tournament is organized and directed by The Kitchener-Waterloo Chess Club.
      Registration: Only the first 50 persons to register will be accepted due to capacity of the venue and COVID 19 restrictions. Preregister here.
      Prizes: Cash prizes for each section will be based on total entry fees less expenses.
      Ratings: The most recent published ratings (CFC) will be used for section selection and pairings. The tournament will be CFC rated but not FIDE rated.
      Location: The address is shown above. The venue is the Hungarian Canadian Club, between Kitchener and Guelph, next to Beaverdale and Brookfield Golf Courses.
      Awards Dinner: The main course will include spätzle and goulash. Here's your chance to enjoy some Hungarian cuisine. Cash prizes and certificates will be awarded after the meal.

                              Looks like a great event. Sorry I missed it. Congratulations to Josh Terry on winning another competitive tournament. Maybe he'll get to expert soon.
