Active Fundraiser for the Canadian Team for the 2010 Chess Olympiad
Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010
A 5 round, Active Swiss tournament
The Canadian team will be particpating in the 39th Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia.
This Active fundraiser is to raise funds to support the Canadian Team.
The event drew 27 participants - a new record for us, although just barely (the old record was 26). The total for the 2010 Olympiad team raised stood at $299 but Chris Eve took pity on us and tossed in an extra loonie to make it a round $300.
First place was taken by Gavin Steininger with a 5-0 score. Tied for 2-3 were Howard Wu and Roger Patterson with 4-1. Top U17000 was Philip Boyle with 3-2 and 2nd U1700 was Nick Milonas with 2.5-2.5. Top U1400 were Mathew Geng and his father Li Geng, both with 2-3 scores.
