      Hugh!!

      Not yet... I may end up being the TD and arbiter if no one else volunteers. It would be very difficult to play and be a TD at the same time.

      I will update the confirmed participants list as players register :D

        Aman is everywhere these days. We should give him a government post of chess ambassador. (like Capa):)

          So far we have potential players from Corner Brook and all over the island, and possibly from Labrador coming to play. The local chess players are very excited to see Aman, especially considering the progress he's made over the past couple of years.

            Who's from Corner Brook? I attended Wilfred Grenfell for 2 years before moving to Ontario 30 years ago.

              The only name that was passed on to me is RG MacIsaac. He, along with another player whose name I do not know yet, is planning on playing.

              Once I send out the official invitation by e-mail, I'll have a better sense of attendance.

              Who knows? Maybe Garland Best would like to play! ;)

                    Just a friendly reminder to please e-mail me or the NL Chess Association if you intend to play. That way we will know how many tables to set up.

                    Thanks! Jordan
