The CFC Regular Chess Post – May 1/12 – CMA Quebec Chess Challenge Championships.

The winners of the Quebec Chess Challenge held Sunday, April 29 (by grade), and their total number of titles won. Note the lack of so-called "pure laine" Québécois. (according to Statistics Canada, the Chinese ethnic group consists of 2% of the Montreal population (compared to 11% in Toronto, and 30% in Vancouver)). Other "minority" groups also won titles - including one female and one Black.
