Congratulations to all the winners!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped organize this event: -- from the Chess Club; Leon Perelman, Alex Safir, Travis Li, Geordie Derraugh, Stuart Brammall, Kit Ng, Rob Roller, Colin Cuttress -- from Hart House: Day, Nigel, Monica, Grace, Jamie, Armando, Dermot -- David Cohen & Brian Fiedler for coming by and stirring some good buzz about the Toronto bid to host the 2010 Canadian Open -- Bill Evans & Egis Zeromskis for all the photos and helping promote our event -- And always: Bryan Lamb, who makes everything run smoothly throughout! I hope I didn't forget anyone, but this was definitely a great team effort.
Several people asked about upcoming events: At Hart House, we've not been able to book the space we want so far for Reading Week, and may be limited to one big room which may force us to place a maximum capacity :(
Something in April may also occur. All details will be finalized in January so we'll announce then if it's a go!
- Winter Open in Ottawa Jan 22-24
- Guelph Pro-Am Feb 6-7
- London Monthly Opens (Jan 30, Feb 27, Mar 27)
Are some events in the area you may want to attend :)
Thanks to everyone who joined the Hart House Holidays Open, and hope you enjoyed it!

Congratulations to all the winners!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped organize this event: -- from the Chess Club; Leon Perelman, Alex Safir, Travis Li, Geordie Derraugh, Stuart Brammall, Kit Ng, Rob Roller, Colin Cuttress -- from Hart House: Day, Nigel, Monica, Grace, Jamie, Armando, Dermot -- David Cohen & Brian Fiedler for coming by and stirring some good buzz about the Toronto bid to host the 2010 Canadian Open -- Bill Evans & Egis Zeromskis for all the photos and helping promote our event -- And always: Bryan Lamb, who makes everything run smoothly throughout! I hope I didn't forget anyone, but this was definitely a great team effort.
Several people asked about upcoming events: At Hart House, we've not been able to book the space we want so far for Reading Week, and may be limited to one big room which may force us to place a maximum capacity :(
Something in April may also occur. All details will be finalized in January so we'll announce then if it's a go!
- Winter Open in Ottawa Jan 22-24
- Guelph Pro-Am Feb 6-7
- London Monthly Opens (Jan 30, Feb 27, Mar 27)
Are some events in the area you may want to attend :)
Thanks to everyone who joined the Hart House Holidays Open, and hope you enjoyed it!
Alex Ferreira
Hart House Chess Club
