Of course, it will be. When tournament is finished, I'll compile PGN with all the games and I'll publish it here.

Win of Alexandru Florea in his postponed game with Nikita Gusev secured for ... Roman Sapozhnikov first place and the title of Toronto Junior Champion for 2010. Congratulations to Roman! Alexandru also helped himself with this win, and now he is tied with Nikita and Michael Song for places 2-4 before last round. You're invited tomorrow to "The Knights of Chess" club to follow what is promising to be exciting battle for 2nd and 3rd prizes.
