  • 2018 Chess tournaments in Canada

    We just celebrated 150th Canada day few days ago.

    2018 is coming soon with less than half a year to go.

    To all Tournament organizers :

    Can we start to have the 2018 tournament dates ready in the next couple of months rather than in 2018 ?

    Tournaments on a National scale for example CYCC/CO , Quebec Open and tournaments likewise ?

    This will help parents/players to plan ahead for 2018.

    Thanks in advance to all the tournament organizers.

    The listings as per chess.ca is great for 2017. Kudos to Bob Gillanders and Nigel N for making CFC website better than before.

    Cheers to chess in Canada

      Is the Quebec Open also going to be the Canadian Open? I remember reading the Canadian Open was going to be in Quebec City in 2018.

          Thanks Hugh and Vadim.

          Looks like lots of chess on the month of July in Quebec City.

          Bob / Nigel, can these 4 tournaments be input into CFC website ?

          Hopefully this will result in less conflict of tournaments as much as possible

          Cheers

              OK, will do.

              comment: links are a must and, usually, a pdf file is created (and linked to) outlining the details of the tournament. Not one of the posters here have done this.

              [hint, hint]

                Maybe because our details are not finalized till Nov 2017. Gary asked for dates not details. Hint Hint Hint.

                  OK, fine. It's a start. Keep up the good work.

                        There are some solid rumours of POSSIBLES:

                        August - Sault Ste. Marie International Chess Tournament (9 days) - Ontario.

                        July/August - AurorA International Chess Tournament (Length romour not aviable to this chess tournament player with his ear to the ground) - Ontario.

                        ALREADY FIXED - Edited later

                        July 01 – 05, 2018 - Canadian Youth Chess Championship (CYCC) - Quebec City, July 01 – 05, 2018
                        July 06 – 13, 2018 - Canadian Open Chess Championship (CO) - Quebec City, July 06 – 13, 2018 - I have been told, but have not investigated, that the summer is some mega-Quebec festival in Quebec City, and accommodations will not be available next summer if you try then; influx of tourists from everywhere will have taken all hotels, B & B's, etc. Maybe someone from FQE can fill us in on this?
                        July 21-28, 2018 - Quebec Open

                          The Quebec Open is a separate tournament this year according to Hugh Brodie's post number two on this thread.

                            I have only seen the dates for the Quebec Open (2018). I don't know what the Canadian Open dates will be or whether it will be merged with the Quebec Open. I assume two separate events - Canadian Open in Quebec City, and Quebec Open in Montreal. Quebec Open dates have been announced as July 21-28, 2018.

                              Will there be a tournament from August 3-6 in Kitchener in 2018?
