Janus is the Roman two-faced god of beginnings and transitions. He faces the past, while looking to the future. January is named in his honour, and so is the January ACC kids’ tournament.
After 4 rounds, and despite a last-round loss, Kaizen wins on tie break!
The tournament is now complete and rated by the Chess Federation of Canada.
