Re: Canadian/Quebec Open - 40 games from round 1

Hugh, wasn't Boris Gulko playing in the Open?

Re: 2008 Canadian Open Games

Boris Gulko is not playing, but Andrei Gulko (not related - at least not closely related) is.

There are now 234 games available for download.

254 Canadian/Quebec Open Games

All 254 available/readable games from rounds 1-6 are available. I think I am missing one game from the Open section. There are a couple of unreadable games from the U2400 section which I will try to decipher. Most of the lower board games of the U2400 section are not available.

277 games (rounds 1-7)

Now 277 games. One game missing in the Open. More to come on Saturday.

[Hugh Brodie]

289 games

Still a few round 7 games to do.

[Hugh Brodie]

312 games from rounds 1-7

312 games (rounds 1-8). Included is the complete Barron-Hébert game (all 104 moves - the MonRoi version ends at move 51, since Jean stopped using the device when he got into time trouble. He kept a "written" scoresheet the whole game).

Re: 2008 Canadian Open Games (weeding of duplicates)

Just noticed that an earlier version had a Laptos v Corval, where the 2nd player should be Courval, throughout other rounds. As well, Voskanyan vs A. Roy produced a duplicate game when I moved separate versions from one database to the other (couldn't see no typographical errors there however). My count now agrees with the 377 that Hugh indicates.

And thanks Hugh for uploading the games! Next task might be to divide them into sections so as to have those good-looking chessbase results cross-table appear (was surprised, though, that chessbase did not ever seem to include a pairings algorithm).

That hybrid thread mode was enough to convince me to switch as well, the only possible problem being that when a new thread reply occurs on the middle page of a multi-page thread, one has to navigate throughout all the pages to fing the unreads. Still, it seems as good as the old, if not better, and will support this by posting here more often now.

Re: 2008 Canadian Open Games

The games are already divided by section: Open (no section idicated); U2400; and a few games from U2000, U1700, and U1400.

One correction: the game Rosen-Voskanyan was by error placed in the Open section; I have moved it back to the U2400 section.
