    2023 Canadian Closed Championship - Excelsior Chess Club

  • #2
    1 GM, 4 IMs and 2 FMs have preregistered for the Closed, which is more than enough for possible IM norm.

    In my opinion, such a tournament is a much better and affordable way to get norms than RR events with exorbitant entry fee for norm seekers.

      To add to Victor's point, these events have even become a necessity as FIDE requires at least one norm to come from a Swiss event.

      Great job Nick! I am confident the whole community is grateful for your efforts to grow the chess scene in the GTA & Canada.
