It may be a cold and dark winter, but that doesn't mean you can't start planning for warmer days, and hotter events...
... but not Trois-Rivières, or the Zonal in Kingston, or the CYCC or Canadian Open Mississauga which have been cancelled...

As much a list of cancelled events as events that are not yet cancelled.... but there are Canadian online tournaments which meet the recommended 6-foot safety distance!

Arul Papneja scored 4.5/5 to claim the title of 2020 Ontario Junior Champion. His second-round win over second-place finisher Aayush Ajith is our Canadian Game of the Week.
From the diagram: should White play Na4 to control the c-file, or centralize with Rfd1 and Bb2, Rac1?

Our Canadian Game of the Week is IM Nikolay Noritsyn vs FM Nicholas Vettese from the 2019 Chess-to-Remember Rapid in Toronto.
In the diagram White has just played c2-c4; what should Black do?
