[Hans Jung]

Congratulations to Eugene Hua for clear first ahead of three IMs! A lot of veterans in a tough field. and an amazing 44 players in the under 1500! I enjoyed the games shown.

[Bob Armstrong]

Nice feel to this tournament. Good turnout for a rural Ontario city (Collingwood: 21,793 (2016]): 72 players in three sections.

It is a memorial tournament to a former, deceased Collingwood medical officer of health. It is sponsored by his son, Milan Somborac, also a Collingwood resident. This is the second of two successive annual tournaments. Milan said he expected to have a 2024 tournament.

It drew a lot of Southern Georgian Bay and rural Ontario residents - I played players from Sudbury, Orillia, Collingwood, Aurora and Hungary (No city given) [According to the CFC data on location, which is not always kept up by players when they move].

Collingwood is in a lovely part of Ontario.

I'll definitely put it on my 2024 calendar as soon as the dates become available.

[Hal Bond]

Two results in the U1900 have been corrected. Tim Knechtel and Ralf Meyer both won their final round games.

[Don Parakin]

I'll definitely put it on my 2024 calendar as soon as the dates become available.

The dates are available on the CFC events list: May 3-5, 2024. Milan confirmed this via email (although his website isn't updated yet). I'm putting it on my calendar too.

[Bob Armstrong]

thanks Don......now on my 2024 chess calendar!
