How old is the youngest player on the Canadian man squad? That number will coincide with team's place at the end of the competition.

Post on this thread your prediction on how Canada will do in the Open section of the 2012 Chess Olympiad in Turkey which gets underway shortly.

The winner gets a $100 gift certificate from Strategy Games.

No cost to participate.

Your prediction must appear here no later than at the end of the day on Wednesday August 29th 2012. You must be dead on to win...this is not horseshoes :)

If there is more than one person with the right prediction, the prize is divided equally amongst the winners.

Only 1 prediction per person.

With a little less than 7 hours left to make a prediction, so far we have over 50 people taking part. Jason Manley is predicting a great result for Canada with his 23rd place entry in the contest. Most participants are predicting that Canada will do better than their initial rank by rating. Less than 20% predict a lower final ranking. David Ottosen is on the opposite side of the spectrum to Jason Manley... predicting 87th spot.
