Today I got this message from Bernard Ouimet of the Championnat de Montreal, which will take place on the 11-12-13 September:
“You know a Female Grand Master at Chess (WGM)? Tell her we have a plane ticket and free lodging for her. We need the participation of a female Grand-Master to promote chess for Canadians, Quebec and Montreal women. We also have a free visit to the Zoo and to the biggest amusement park in Canada. We have about 350$US for her small expenses also”
Please answer to: championnatdemontreal@gmail.com
There are also three women prizes in the lower sections of play. These prizes are over and above the total guaranteed prize fund of 5 000 $. Those extra prizes are offers by Goddesschess.
I congratulate both the Championnat de Montreal and Goddesschess for this excellent initiative!
