  • The Weak IMs are the first Quebec Open bughouse winners!

    The Weak IMs (IM B. Cheng and IM. A. Calugar) won the first Quebec Open bughouse tournament. They defeated CAC (GM Hansen and IM Hambleton) during playoff games. In third place comes the Mighty Knights (GM Chirila and FM Lefong Hua) who leaded during all the tournament, before losing 2-0 to the Weak IMs in last round. It was a festive events with 12 teams from all ages, free snacks and lots of pieces flying everywhere. This was a good practice for us, as we expect a much bigger bughouse tournament next year (with the CYCC and CO being held in Montreal). Lots of pictures and videos were taken, and I'll post them as soon as possible.

    Final standings and average rating :

    8/10: The Weak IMs (IM B. Cheng and IM. A. Calugar) / 2400 (winners after tiebreaks)
    8: CAC (GM Hansen and IM Hambleton) / 2533
    7: Mighty Knights (GM Chirila and MF Hua) / 2403
    7: No Name (IM Richard Wang and Ryan Lo) / 2363
    6: Girl Powers (M.-J. Ouellet and Christine Gao) / 1529
    5: Pions Passés (S. Gelet and É. Trottier) / 2050
    5: Shredders (T. Libersan and S.R. Lemieux) / 1793
    4: Le Match Parfait (O. Sprumont and L.Y. Shi) / 1800
    4: Double best (A. Saha and M.-J. Constantin) / 1643
    4: Fritz (Z. Saine and R.-K. Fan) / 1545
    2: Fritz (Q. Huang and J. Hua) /1173
    0: Kamikaze (J. Heredia and S.K. Kay) / 1607

    IM Cheng and IM Calugar won 100% of the entry fees ($120).

    Not the first time a bughouse tournament has happened at a Quebec Open - they were held a couple of times in the 1980's.
