Last Saturday took place the third meeting of Team-Quebec 2013. The team came back this year with three teachers : GM Bator Sambuev, FM Lefong Hua and FM Sylvain Barbeau. The team is also possible this year thanks to its only sponsor (for the moment) Pepsico.
The format slightly changed this year. The participants spend the first two hours with their teacher, while the last two hours now consist of supervised play (under the supervision of the expert Thierry Libersan).
The participants also had promotional objects this year. The FQE gave every participant a bag, mainly containing a chess set. They will now be able to bring this set every week, and also keep all the exercises they will receive.
Last year, participants of Team-Quebec incredibly progressed. This year, some of them participated in a youth championship in New York state and had great results. Maïli-Jade Ouellet, among others, won her section. It will be interesting to see what happens this year.
In any case, we can see two young players that have already made great progress this year : Ananda Saha and Shawn Rodrigue-Lemieux. The latter (and younger) even had the chance to win against his more experienced opponent. We can also see the game of Maximo Alcantara against Oscar Sprumont, which ended up in a win for Black after a long fight. Finally, in the last picture, we can see Oleksandr Nikulich against Nicholas Johnson, whose game ended up in a draw.
