: Tie Breaks

: Canadian Grandmaster qualifies for World Cup. Best of all: he does not need to play in Canadian zonal!

: Cuban superstar Bruzon had a disasterous tournament and was far from qualifying. No doubt the Cuban chess federation will want an explanation.

: I love the chess clock!

: Canadian Chess News. Most of it embarrassing. The rest just laughable. Like the $80,0000 that the Canadian Chess Federation openly accepted from Kirsan to vote for him instead of Gary Kasparov

: Hard to believe that the Canadian Chess Federation left Canada’s most active grandmaster off of the next Olympiad Team! He has vowed to never represent Canada again! http://www.fqechecs.qc.ca/article/gmi-bator-sambuev-remporte-le-toro-2016

: Bator Sambuev has been living in Canada for about a decade now. He is Canada’s most active grandmaster, has won virtually every tournament in Canada.

: From a Canadian chess message board. Sambuev feeling rightlyfully ignored and hurt. http://forum.chesstalk.com/showthread.php?13821-Canada-welcomes-GM-Evgeny-Bareev&p=104133&viewfull=1#post104133

: Youngster Zhou Qiyu is playing in a Grandmaster tournament in Finland right now. (See the Finland news hereabouts) Gaining valuable experience, Canada does not promote junior chess to the level necessary to compete at a world level, so Qiyu’s efforts are all the more remarkable. She has a blog: https://qiyuzhou.wordpress.com/
