Hello Parents and Students of Seneca Hill Chess Club, Hillcrest Chess Club, and Oriole Chess Club. My name is Kyle and I have been playing chess at Seneca Hill for 6 years. During these years, I have learned a lot from here. It has positively benefited my life and I hope it benefits your child’s life as well.

I decided to write Corrina a letter of thanks, and here it is.

Dear Corrina, Read the rest of this entry »

CFC Junior Grand Prix is for all junior players who want to play better quality games!

Why play in two day tournaments?
These are two days tournaments with 5 rounds. The time control is 90 minutes per player per game. When a longer time for a game is allowed, the chess players have enough time to check if their next moves are smart and safe. As a results, they play quality games with deeper thinking and more accurate calculations.

On top of the slower time control, we offer:
**CFC regular rated games
**Qualification to CYCC 2014
**Over $10,000 CYCC bursaries
**$1,200 cash Grand Prix prizes
**Plaques, trophies, medals and souvenirs…
