I would like to invite you all to the Edmonton Winter Sectional, December 14-16 (Friday night, Saturday and Sunday), followed by a lecture and simultaneous exhibition by GM Alexander Shabalov on Monday, December 17 (free with your tournament entry).

This is a round robin event, where you play only those with a similar
rating to yourself. The US Champion, GM Alex Shabalov, will be
playing in the top section.

Each 6-player round robin will have at least $125 in prizes, with
higher prizes in the top sections.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED in order to play. You can join by paying
your $30 entry fee either in person (in Edmonton or Calgary) or by
mail, by Thursday December 13 at the latest.
