By corinnawan
April 7, 2013 //

IM Aman Hambleton is coming to Oriole again. Here is a link to the Simul given by Aman at Oriole last June.

We are proud to present another simul exhibition given by IM Aman Hambleton on April 28, 2013. Read the rest of this entry »

Farewell to Ontario Girls’ Chess Championship

By corinnawan
February 19, 2013 //

I regret to inform you that I will no longer be running the Ontario Girls Chess Championship. The OGCC has been a great success for the past 10 years and has received a tremendous amount of support. We have had an amazing turn out of girls participating each year with a record number of 146 participants in 2012.  I sincerely hope that girls’ involvement in chess will continue to climb. I will be posting information regarding the possibility of someone else running OGCC 2013  and I encourage you all to continue to participate in this great event among others.

Corinna

To recall memories of the past OGCCs, the website will be kept for a while. Please click here.
