23rd Annual Canadian Chess Challenge

[Larry Bevand]

The National Final of the Canadian Chess Challenge is set to begin on Sunday, May 22, 2011 in Victoria, B.C.

This tournament is a Canadian Classic with over 20,000 youngsters from across Canada having competed in school level events throughout the 2010-2011 year for the opportunity to represent their province this weekend. Each province is represented by 12 players - 1 in each grade from grade 1 to grade 12.

At Chess'n Math we are very fortunate to have Chris Dawson of Newfoundland! Again this year he has put together a website where results of the games from the 2011 National finals will appear almost within a few seconds of a game result. The tournament is happening on May 22-23, 2011 in Victoria B.C....with a 9 a.m. start Victoria time which means noon for the folks in Quebec and Ontario..and 1:30pm in Newfoundland. Chris says in an e-mail I received today: "scores should will be up on the web site within 5 seconds of them being entered and I think people should find the system pretty snappy. One thing I should point out is that I am having a little trouble with the auto-refresh feature when using Internet Explorer. Basically, the Current Round page should automatically refresh every 5 seconds or so but this is not working in Internet Explorer. It works fine if you are using another web browser such as Google Chrome or Firefox. In Internet Explorer (IE) it may be necessary to right click on the scores pane and select refresh manually or close off the browser and re-open it. (F5 may work in IE but it depends). I am still looking for a solution to this."

Re: 23rd Annual Canadian Chess Challenge

I'm having no trouble with it - using Firefox.

Just tried it with IE 8 (maybe 7 - but definitely not 9), and it also works fine.

Thanks for the reply Hugh.

We have tried both IE on a couple of machines - but to no avail

"We did not find results for: www.chess.nl.ca. Try the suggestions below or type a new query above "

However when we tried FIREFOX -- it is now working -- thanks!

It was third try lucky for me. Firefox zip, Opera zip, Google Chrome success.

If a match is in progress, it shows as 0-0 until somebody scores 6.5 points. Anyway, I see Ontario, BC and Alberta with clean match scores thus far. They all meet on Monday.

Everything was working fine on our end so I am not sure why some folks are having problems.

Quebec is having their worse performance in the 23 year history of the event. They lost to B.C. In the first round followed by a loss to Alberta (first time ever) in round 2. That was followed by a win against Manitoba by the slimist of margins. They will have to fight hard and have some luck in order to finish in the top 3.

I notice that the 3rd place finisher in Grade 1, from Saskatchewan, is Alexander Sasata. Is he related to SK Master Robert Sasata?
