Ottawa Winter Open: $20 discount period
Hi chess friends, as we head into January, first of all, Happy New Year to everyone! And for people interested in registering for the upcoming Ottawa Winter Open, January 1st signals the beginning of the $20 double-early discount period, which will be in effect until Wednesday, January 12th, inclusive.
Please find below the pre-registered list so far, now at 47 players. Some visiting players were concerned about driving in case of inclement weather, but remember that even earlier in the day before the first round, you can simply defer your registration to a future Ottawa weekender (I run 5 of these a year).
For local players who are hoping to pay next week, I expect to be at the RA club between 7pm and 730pm, and then really have to take off to go to work.
Yours in chess,
