2012 Canadian Open Chess Championship

I'm registered in the under 2000 section. I bet that's the first time anyone from Maple Bay has been listed in a major Canadian chess tournament. As someone who spent time in "River City", I'm happy to see a number of Winnipegers, or former Winnipegers, as well. Jack Yoos, Kevin Li, Jeff Babb, Dezheng Kong, Jamie Campbell and John Remillard are all playing. Welcome to Vancouver Island, chess players! Here is the Monroi link for the tournament. There is also a Facebook page and the Victoria Chess Club has a page as well.

Children's Chess Club takes summer break

The Chess Club for Children will take a break for summer. I think it will be back in September, provided the library staffers still like the idea and I have the time. Thanks to all the children and parents who came by. Discover Chess at Vancouver Island Regional Library
