The Annex Chess Club is gearing up for the 2024 Ontario Open Chess Tournament, set to kick off from Saturday, May 18 to Monday, May 20, 2024. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, this tournament welcomes chess enthusiasts of all levels to join in on the fun. Held at St. Casimir's Parish Hall on 156 Roncesvalles Avenue in Toronto, participants can look forward to engaging in a six-round Swiss format competition that promises a mix of competitiveness and camaraderie. With sections like Crown, U2200, U1800, and U1400 based on CFC ratings, even players without a CFC rating can get in on the action using other rating systems. Games will be played with a time control of 90 minutes and a 30-second increment from move 1. To secure your spot among the 300+ players, it's wise to register early. Regular admission is set at $110, but Early Bird, ACC members, juniors (U16), and seniors (60+) can benefit from a $20 discount. GM/WGM/IM/WIM players even enjoy free entry. Plus, snag additional discounts by becoming an ACC member prior to registering for the tournament. Don't let this chance slip by - showcase your chess prowess and test your skills against fellow players at the 2024 Ontario Open Chess Tournament.
