Rd 1 The Shawn RL- Latorre game took a while to start real action but on move 29 Shawn found the maneuver Qe1-Qe3-Qg3 and the queen took over as boss on the kingside. After that full action happened on the kingside with the F-pawn lever and tripling on the F-file and eventual breakthrough. Win for Shawn.Last edited by Hans Jung; Thursday, 28 March, 2024, 08:56 AM.Comment

Rd 1 Nicula- Panjwani Raja Panjwani kept the two bishops into the endgame and after some inaccuracies by his opponent would have collected two pawns, enough for resignation.
Preotu - Abrahams After some minor piece jousting Razvan Preotu forced through the A-pawn winning a piece and the game.
Piasetski-Sambuev Leon Piasetski had the advantage through most of the middlegame but with the exchange of queens the advantage dissipated. Result draw.Comment

The Canadian Closed (the actual Canadian Championship) started yesterday and continues throughout the Easter weekend at Hart House, University of Toronto. Drop by Hart House and see the action. Its a great venue and atmosphere.Comment

Rd 2 Zachary Dukic vs Shawn RL Zachary has the two bishops vs the two knights. A real spar fest going on. Exciting!
Zachary's exchange sack didnt work out and then he walked into a cute checkmate. Win for Shawn.
Jaferian vs Preotu After some interesting skirmishing White has won a pawn. Tough defence is in needed.
Yoosha found the most efficient way to finish. Big upset!Last edited by Hans Jung; Thursday, 28 March, 2024, 02:07 PM.Comment

Rd 2 A little closer to home for me two former youth stars now masters Joshua Terry over Ryan Campbell. Good to see them both playing in the Canadian Championship.Comment

Rd 3 Enjoyed Liu-Ajith Look at those pawns go. Especially the breakthrough 30...e3! scintillating! and tittilating!
also Li - Yang what a finish. Advice to young players: be very careful when you have combination of two knights and queen coming at you - can cause irreversible damage to your kings position.Comment
