It's not over until it's over... That is the theme to this week's game from this year's Quebec Open between Nikita Kraiouchkine and IM Keaton Kiewra. Take a look at a game where even a master fails to win a completely winning position up a queen!

Crazy is the best way to describe this week's 8th round game from the recently concluded Canadian Open in Ottawa. The quick time control of 90 + 30s led to some wild games.
This week we’ll be showcasing a couple games of rising Canadian IM Bindi Cheng. Recently, he’s been performing quite well in the international scene, with a plus score against titled players across the recent DC International and World Open.
The City of Kitchener is hosting the 8th edition of its Kitchener Chess Festival, a combination of two major 7 rounds tournaments and numerous side-events.
When ? : August 2-5. Round 1 on Aug 2 at 6 pm, then 10 AM and 3 PM daily.
Where ? : Kitchener City Hall
IMs Hambleton and Gerzhoy are following (along with GMs Short, Rozentalis and Bruzon) with 5/6. Their norm chances are very slim, as most of their opponents are Canadian, but they can still win some big money.
