  • Ottawa Autumn Open: $30 August discount

    I hope that everyone is having a fulfilling summer, both inside and outside of chess. Here we are, already in August, and it is time to open registrations for the Ottawa Autumn Open. This weekender will be in late September, but players who pay during August can take advantage of a $30 triple-early discount!

    Please check out the weblink at the end of this post, for all of the tournament details.

    For players who have been to a few of my tournaments, please note some changes:
    - Round 1 on Friday has been moved from 7pm to 730pm, to benefit travelling players
    - Round 4 on Sunday has been moved from 9am to 10am, as some found 9am too early
    - the number of sections are expanding from 4 to 5 (Top, U2200, U2000, U1800, U1600)

    Yours in chess,

    Aris Marghetis, FIDE Arbiter
    Organizer/TD, EOCA President

    Please note that we are looking for up to 5 floater players :
    - floater players help the TD guarantee no “forced byes”
    - floater players are paired and rated like all the players
    - floater players play for free, but under some conditions :
    ----- they play in 0 to 5 rounds, depending on byes by all the players
    ----- they can be phoned/texted in the hour before every single round
    ----- they have a current CFC membership by the time of first pairings
    If you are interested in being a floater player for this event, please apply by email

    --------- original event announcement ---------

    The Eastern Ontario Chess Association (EOCA) organizes the EOCA Grand Prix, a series of weekend tournaments over the 2010-2011 chess season.

    The next EOCA event in Ottawa is the Ottawa Autumn Open, on September 24th-26th. It will consist of 5 rounds, with flexible bye and discount options.

    We are planning 5 sections (rated CFC, upper sections also rated FIDE), and prizes for every 200 rating points (total of $3300 for latest Ottawa event!)

    For more details on this event, and a great webpage for all of the events in the 2010-2011 EOCA Grand Prix, please consider bookmarking this weblink :

          already 25 players

          Here is the list of who is registered so far (with some payments & memberships due)

          Please note that next week, I will be working at the NAYCC in Montreal. Therefore, interested families/players can register with me there (would really prefer by cheque!)

          Also, as I will be in Montreal, I will not be at the RA on Thursday the 19th, but should be there on the 26th. Please check ChessTalk as that date approaches. However, if you are concerned you might miss seeing me in person for the August triple-early $30 discount, then please feel free to mail in your cheque (like families/players from outside Ottawa do)

            Hi again, a few families registered with me at the NAYCC this week, therefore here is a new list of registered players. Note that as I was in Montreal for most of this week, if you were now snail-mailing your registration and payment, I expect to include those late next week.

              this Thursday at the RA club

              I will be at the RA this Thursday evening, August 26th, from about 7pm onwards. If you would like to register in person, ideally please do so before 730pm, as I'll be playing then (please wait for my move before trying to get my attention, cheques still very welcome!)

              Please note that this will be the last chance, in person anyway, to take advantage of the August $30 triple-early discount (you could also mail it in before September 1st).
