      Rene Preotu returns as Chief Arbiter, pre-reg list

      I have great confidence in Rene Preotu as Chief Arbiter, so I am going to play. It's probably time for me to return to the 1700 club.

      Here is the pre-reg list so far. The ratings will be updated on the Wednesday prior to the tournament. You can avoid the $10 on site fee by emailing me at halbond@sympatico.ca

        Hal, great idea! I did something similar at my last weekender, where I did most of the Organizing, and Halldor (God bless him) did most of the TDing. We also both played!

        Good luck in your tournament!

          Noritsyns join the hunt

          IM Nikolay Noritsyn will resume his rivalry with GM Sambuev in the Pro Section and younger brother Sergey will keep the U2000 crowd on its toes.

          Aris - I hope I don't regret this decision! I look forward to playing but with organizational details I will be distractable. For your tourney on the following weekend I'll need a fresh excuse!

                      Hal, I sent 2 e-mails to halbond@sympatico.ca (on Sunday and Tuesday) trying to register Daniel Zotkin for the tournament. Unfortunately he is still not on the list. Could you please register him? You can contact me at dinamo21@rogers.com if you need any more details. Thanks beforehand!

                        Thanks Dmytro!! Daniel is player number 57. IM Artiom Samsonkin has entered the fray as well long with former U12 Open Champ Terry Song. Next list after 60.

                          Over 60. Only enough tables for 80.

                          Toronto Master and FIDE CM Nikita Gusev has joined the strong Pro Section. Each section is looking very competitive.

                          Those wishing to overnite in Guelph can book across the road from the University Centre at the Best Western Royal Brock for the "University Rate" of $93.99 per room. They are located at 716 Gordon Street, Guelph, Ontario, N1G 1Y6, CA
                          Phone: 519-836-1240 or 1-800-780-7234. Mention the University of Guelph rate of 93.99 per room.

                          Please note that we are in Peter Clark Hall, on the lower floor of the University Centre.


                          This year we are adding a dedicated tea station to our refreshment centre. You can still avoid the on site late fee by contacting me, halbond@sympatico.ca , before 11pm tonite.

                          I should have updated ratings this afternoon.

                            Hal, I hate to be annoying but Daniel Zotkin is still not on the list... His CFC # is 146857, CFC Rating 1747, FIDE Rating 1794

                              I see Michael Song was in the pre-reg list and in newer lists his name dissappears, did he drop out?
