    It is nice to see a new player in Andrei Gulko, who i believe is from Montreal -from the Pi Cafe monthly blitz.

    Nice addition to the Toronto rapid scene. Andrie brings more prestige to Vlad's rapid tournaments. And what follows is, strong players will be challenged and will flock together.

    As Hugh Brodie said, "fresh Meat".....lol. Is the center of the universe...i mean, the center of gravity of rapid/blitz chess, levitating more towards Toronto than Montreal?

      Yes, this was a very interesting field! Andre Gulko arrived with Yaacov Vaingorten and Yevhen Molchanov. Vaingorten spends his time between Toronto and Moscow while Molchanov usually works Saturdays and can't play too often. Sambuev arrived after the first round had started and so played with a first round bye (1/2 point). He went on to lose to Plotkin in the third round.
