2010 Canadian Open

Post by palapiku »

The 2010 Canadian Open will be held Sept. 4-6 in Vancouver, BC. Details here.

Anyone planning to attend?

Myself, I live here, so I pretty much have to go. :)

I will be there (I think)!

Also because I live nearby... I'd be curious about how many people are coming from somewhere outside of BC.

Although I can't go due to lack of airfare money ><, many of my friends from Toronto are going from Toronto, and I hear pretty much all the top 7d players will be there. The friends from Toronto I'm mentioning are almost all 5-6d in strength ^^

Lol, Although I don't get what that "8-Dan" Insolence is, haha. Canadian ratings don't even go to 8 Dan, and how can someone like Zchen be 6 Dan and someone about the same level be called 8 Dan? Jeez...
I'm one stone, or maybe even half a stone too weak to play in the open division! >< Sad life~

Woah! Who are Hu and Ryan? I'm a yank, and therefore know a bit less about Canadian go, but I know who Yongfei and Jing Yang are, and they're quite impressive players to beat.
