I happened to find these articles on the Chess Federation of Canada: http://members5.boardhost.com/ChessTalk/msg/1208372663.html http://www.chess.ca/Gls/07-08GL7.pdf Talk of restructuring, and potentially going under, borrowing money from FIDE in order to stay afloat and make their payments to be a member? People are speculating the Chess Federation of Canada may be going under. I am seeing other stories regarding FIDE and the U.S Chess Federation also (although it isn't as bad). If anyone wonders why I am concerned about chess, and believe that even small issues (aka, excessive drawishness on the highest level) are important, it is because of things like this. If a game can't support an organized association for it, it isn't going to be taken seriously. Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID Canadian Chess does not match any item.
