Re: Ontario Girls' Chess Championship

Yes unfortunately, the tournament is on Mothers Day. :(
Sorry, but it was the only date we could get at this site.
To make it up to all the Mothers in attendance, we'll have a Mothers Day cake.

I am happy to report that Liza Orlova has joined our team of volunteers. Liza has represented Canada at the World Youth Championships and the Chess Olympiad on numerous occasions. I just learned she has her own You Tube channel. Check it out!

I think if we ask her real nice, she would do a simul at the tournament. :D

Some of you have been asking about side events for the siblings. I have been slow at posting details, but yes we intend on having events for everyone. So girls, your little brothers are welcome.

Check out Liza's Face Book:)

Re: Ontario Girls' Chess Championship

Thank you Corinna. :)

You have done splendid job with this tournament over the past 10 years. I am happy to report that the Mississauga Chess Club will be hosting this event this year on Sunday, May 12th at our clubhouse at the U of T Mississauga campus. We are just finalizing some details now. The tournament flyer and announcement will be out shortly.

Impressive! we received the Trophy Tag in mail today. I thought it was a joke when it was announced to send by mail.
Very nice metal tag with player's name on it. Thank you Bob and whoever worked on this.
