 Re: Canadian/Quebec Open blitz tournament
 
 The ratings used were (in order of priority):
 
 1) Montreal blitz ratings.
 2) If none - then highest of FCF, FQE, FIDE, etc.
 
 Since Huzman had played in previous blitz events in Montreal, he already had a blitz rating.
 
 I will post links and/or a crosstable when it's ready.

 Re: Sample crosstable using Code and Lucida Console Font
 
 Apologies if this has been previously asked, but is the board able to render figurine algebraic chess-fonts? Looks like the 5 pieces aren't in the drop-down list of smileys, which might be useful for the puposes of the topic of chess on this board.
 
 A test, by enclosing a line in brackets:
 
 [1.d4 ¤f6 2.c4 g6 3.¤c3 d5 4.¥g5 ¤e4].
