The six-round chess tournament takes place over Labour Day weekend, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, with two rounds each day at 10:00am and 4:00pm. Games are played at 90 minutes per side, with a 30-second increment each move. Sets, boards, and clocks are provided.
Players will be sorted by rating into four sections: Crown, U2200, U1800, and U1400. Players within 100 points of the rating cut-off may elect to play in the next higher section.

Getting Here
Parking in downtown Toronto is not easy, and the site does not have a parking lot. There is limited parking available on side streets, or paid parking in city Green P parking lots nearby.
If it’s an option for you, we strongly suggest travelling by public transit. The site is convenient to reach by TTC, as we’re just a short walk from Bathurst subway station.

A Little History
The Labour Day Open chess tournament in Toronto has been the one not-to-miss event of the year for quite some time. Many will remember Bryan Lamb’s tournaments at the Macedonian Chess Club of St. Clement of Ohrid. Here are Bryan Lamb and Randy Moysoski from 2013.
This year, Annex Chess Club is starting a new chapter in this tradition. We’re very pleased to announce the 2017 Toronto Open on Labour Day weekend, September 2-4. This also revives the Toronto Open, which has not run since 2014, and before that not since the PWC Toronto Open of 2009.

Thanks for Helping Out!
We appreciate GTCL support making this the region’s marquee Open event of the year, and we have a great team with Alex Ferreira working with Annex Chess Club organizers to make it happen. We also appreciate the help of Omar Shah promoting the event. Finally, we would like to thank all the players and chess moms and dads who are helping us out by registering early for the tournament!
September 4-6 is actually Monday-Wednesday-school officially starts on Wednesday the 6th I believe. Just sayin’
Thanks, fixed. Correct dates are Sept 2-4.
Can I still compete if this is my first tournament and I do not have a CFC rating yet?
Hi Irina,
You are welcome to join as an unrated player. You do need to be a member of CFC as well, but you can purchase that membership on site – it’s $48/year and is good for any CFC-rated tournaments in Canada, up to next September.
Best,
Marcus
So if someone wants to only come for tournoment the fee is 20$ or there is 90$ that everyone have to pay?
Hi Adrian,
$90 is to join the tournament, but you have to have a current CFC membership to play. $20 is an additional charge instead of joining CFC – it’s like CFC membership for one tournament only.
Best,
Marcus
Is it open for the viewers as well? Do they need any admission ticket as well to watch the matches?
Hi Ravi,
Everyone is welcome to watch the games as long as you’re not distracting or interfering in any way. And make sure your cell phone is off in the playing hall.
Best,
Marcus
Thanks Marcus.
Hello.. My son Savio is playing Annex chess tournament U1600 this weekend. We are from Windsor, it absolutely difficult to get motels or hotels as it is a long weekend. Please advise whether you have a guest launch that we can share…
Thanks for posting, Joseph. Does anyone have any good suggestions for inexpensive accommodation in Toronto?
How about parking and fees?
Hi Joe,
Parking in downtown Toronto is not easy, and this site does not have a parking lot. There is limited free parking on side streets, or paid parking in city Green P parking lots nearby.
If at all possible, we strongly suggest players to travel by public transit. The site is easy to reach by TTC, just a short walk from Bathurst subway station.
Best,
Marcus
Hi, I am enrolling my son for junior under 18 for this event. He is ten. He recently got the CFC membership but doesn’t have CFC rating yet. When I purchase the entry online what should I enter in the column where is says CFC rating ?
Also worst case scenario if he looses all the games how many games he can get to play minimum before he has to stop playing ?
Hi Jay,
In the Swiss pairing system, all players should play all 6 rounds – unless an odd number of players forces one player to take a bye. But we will try to avoid this, and in any case it should not happen to the same player more than once. In each round, players are paired with an opponent with the same score.
Best,
Marcus
Please advise about parking facilities at site
Hi Joseph,
Again, parking in downtown Toronto is not easy, and the site does not have a parking lot. There is limited parking available on side streets, or paid parking in city Green P parking lots nearby.
If it’s an option, we strongly suggest travelling by public transit. The site is convenient to reach by TTC, as we’re just a short walk from Bathurst subway station.

What time should I arrive / the tournament start on September 2nd?
Hi Victor,
Doors open at 8:30. Opening ceremonies at 9:30, and the round starts at 10:00 am.
Hi Marcus,
As we already registered and paid for the entry fee, are we going to automatically paired for the first round if we did not claim to have bye for the 1st round? without needs to check in?
Thanks
Hi George,
We will be checking people in tomorrow from 8:30-9:30, and it would be great if you could attend the opening ceremony at 9:30, but yes, if you registered, you’ll be paired and your game starts at 10:00.
Thanks Marcus for the prompt reply!
How come Alexander RZ Chang is in under 22oo section?
Hi Mario,
With an FQE rating of 1829, he’s not eligible to play U1800.
Best,
Marcus
Marcus,
Thank you. I missed the 1829 in FQE site.
Regards
Mario
What does this mean in the results? 56w1, 24b½, 47b.
And how do you read the other things?
RK. The players are ranked in this table by points in this tournament, so they have ranking numbers. These are also used to indicate the opponent in each round.
PTS. The points are accumulated as each round a player can earn one point for a win or a half point for a draw.
RTG. The player’s rating is an indication of how strong they are based on previous play in other events. Higher means stronger. Over 2200 is considered master level.
FED. Most of the players’ federation is Canada (CAN), but some players may officially belong to anotger federation where they started playing, Russia (RUS), the Philippines (PHI), etc.
And (IND) is for India?
Yes.
Hi Isaac,
That shows a players’ opponent, colour, and result. 56w1 means the player faced player number 56 with the white pieces and won. 24b½ means they faced player 24 with black and drew. 47b is missing the result because the game was not yet complete when the pairing was posted.
Best,
Marcus
Thank you. Hope you make Toronto Open an annual event. Stronger, more prestigious and more attractive to local and foreign chess players.
Thanks Bobby,
We’re definitely planning to bring it back next year, bigger and better!
Best,
Marcus
Just to clarify, the Crown section is only open to 2200+ players? I’m 2000 rated but wouldn’t be interested in traveling to Toronto unless I could play in he strongest section. The unfortunate aspect of a closed top section is it draws away the stronger competition from the next section down.
Hi Rick,
Players may play up if they are within 100 points of the rating cut-off, so players rated at least 2100 are eligible to play in the Crown section.
Best,
Marcus
