Hi all, we have decided to FIDE rate this blitz tourney. Hope that helps to make your decision easier to join this tourney.

Hi all, now that I finished playing in Brantford (great job Lee and Rob!), time to get back to the Groundhog Gambit blitz tourney. I will use this post for registered players. Maybe I will put pics of the trophies. Remember this is FIDE rated. I will update periodically
