Two Upcoming Events

I have two tournaments planned for the next few months, and I'm really looking forward to both of them. My main goal is to play my best chess, but if I can get an IM norm, that will be an added bonus!

The first one is a GM-norm round robin in Edmonton, so it will definitely be a challenge. My second tournament is in Northern France in the middle of February. It is one of the world's biggest open tournaments, and it attracts players from all over the world. Last year, 60 nations were represented.

4th Edmonton International: Dec. 17-21, Edmonton, Canada. 9 rounds (Round-Robin)



26th Open de Cappelle La Grande: Feb. 13-20, Cappelle La Grande, France. 9 rounds (Accelerated Swiss)

These events are going to be hard work, but I'm sure that they will both be great learning experiences.
