Canadian Open: Standings/Pairings/Live Games

[Tony Ficzere]

Here's hoping that I get to see some live games, results etc... soon. I checked Monroi, nothing yet.

[Nigel Hanrahan]

Re: Canadian Open: Standings/Pairings/Live Games

Maybe I will start a Canadian Open blog here, and people can just add as they please. Yeah, I think I will do that right now.

[John Bleau]

Re: Canadian Open: Standings/Pairings/Live Games

No live games, no pairings and no results (so far).
The national open in the national capital deserves better or am I missing something?

[Hugh Brodie]

Re: Canadian Open: Standings/Pairings/Live Games

There is no Monroi coverage, due to one of their staff being ill, and it being prohibitively expensive to fly in a replacement (from Florida) at a moment's notice.

Re: Canadian Open: Standings/Pairings/Live Games

Round 2 pairings are up: https://sites.google.com/site/ottawa...013---pairings

It's too bad there are no ratings or cumulative scores on the pairings list.

Re: Canadian Open: Standings/Pairings/Live Games

Thanks for the games Halldor!

And John, don't worry about no live games for now, I'm sure you have enough on your plate. "Stuff" happens. It would be nice if someone could lend a couple of DGT's to the event to capture a few live games. I know there are some in Ontario somewhere.

Anyway, keep up the good and hard work!

Suspicion correct. As the Wallchart has it: Max was White.

Re: Canadian Open: Standings/Pairings/Live Games

Really wish to see some of the extreme upset games, like in round 1:

Rinna Yu (1301) won Joey Zhong (2033) - rating difference 726
Ashley Tapp (1481) won Mike Sun (2080) -rating difference 599
Kevin Low (1484 ) drew Yinshi Li (2081) - rating difference 597

Understand that it may be painful for the losing side, but curious to find out what happened in those games.

What is so special about this pair, that it has a different color in pairings?

Is it more important than this one: "1 11 IM Artiom Samsonkin (3.0) - GM Nigel Short (3.0)"?
