    Due to the greater popularity of rapid chess (15 minute/game), we will
    hold a rapid tournament on alternate Saturdays with the blitz event.
    The next three rapids will be February 26, March 12, and March 26.

    Good move! The crowd likes slower time controls. They want to think a little bit on their game. Besides blitz is best played on the internet. Now entry fees remain too high in my opinion. 30$ is too much for an afternoon of chess, even in Toronto.

      There will be no blitz tournament this Saturday in order to not conflict with the Hart House Open. The following Saturday (26th) will be another Rapid tourney.

        Extra prize money available next Saturday!
        The prize pool will be No. of entriesX$20 + $100 thanks to a mystery donor.

        First prize will be $200 guaranteed!

        You can also win a free entry to a later Rapid or Blitz by correctly predicting
        the number of entries next Saturday (you must also play on Saturday to win)
        Post your prediction in response to this post.
