        Just a gentle reminder -

        If you are on the Thanksgiving Open's pre-registered list, please
        come in to Strategy Games for a well-deserved 10% discount!

        Not to mention the overwhelming array of books, equipment, software!

        Marcus & Co., promise you a great event - the ACC has come a long way since
        I first organised last year's Ontario Open at what was then simply "918 Bathurst"

        I still remember Victor Plotkin walking in the first morning, crooking a Kasparovian
        finger and shaking his head, "Fischer would not have been happy with the lighting!"

        The lighting and temp controls are way improved now, though my absent signature
        white table-cloths might yet make a reappearance for the Open's weekend filming!

        And Victor.....might yet do a Kasparov cameo:-)

          Hi Francis;
          I'll be in to see the Thanksgiving Open on Sunday to check out the improved lighting. When I was there for the last day of Labour Day Open the lighting to me had not changed.
          Hopefully the Annex Club will get there numbers up so they will pay out their
          projected prize fund. Any reason for the $100 cut on the lower First prizes?

          When does Strategy Games Open on Sundays?

                Hi John,

                Strategy will be open later both days this weekend,
                esp. for chess buffs looking for the latest wrinkle to
                hustle an unsuspecting opponent this Thanksgiving:-)

                Saturday 8 October: 10 am - 7 pm
                Sunday 9 October: 12 noon - 6 pm

                I think Marcus & Co are pulling out all the stops to make
                this a Thanksgiving Open to remember, should be well-lit:-)

                Which reminds me -

                Folks, if you haven't signed up yet (c'mon this is a Brian
                Lamb special, you can't miss it!) for this Thanksgiving Open -

                Strategy Games will be accepting entries until 7 pm this
                evening, at our establishment - 701, Mt. Pleasant Rd., TO:
