Hello Collingwood players!
I am leaving for the venue shortly. We aim to post the pairings for round one today at 4pm on Chess-Results. If you can submit you payment before then I can still get you into the tournament.

[Hal Bond]

There is still time to register for this beautiful tournament in Collingwood before midnight tonight for $125.00. We have 78 players and we look forward to hosting one and all!

[Hal Bond]

Good news from the Collingwood Somborac Chess Festival. The organizers have decided to freeze the entry fees at $125 until midnight Thursday. We are closing in on 80 entries and it promises to be another memorable tournament. See you soon!

[Hal Bond]
