I'm going, and while there I will challenge Shirov. It's a throw down!

129 confirmed players so far!

Starts the very same day as the Scottish Open.

I'll have to go to Canada someday I have loads of very good friends
there who keep inviting me over.

Where in Canada do your friends live?

Hi - One in Montreal and three in places I cannot recall.

They told me years ago and I mean years ago, we only communicate
by email - they are not well known, I remember I had never heard of
the places before. One is coming across to see me in July.

Next time I contact them I'll ask again - they will think I'm bonkers.

My apologies to our Canadian cousins for this rude interlude, can anyone come along and watch?

Of course - not too sure of the format yet.

If they give me a camera to interview the players then I'll do
something crazy for utube.

Last email I got from Canandian friend was they were snowed in.

Also one lives in remote spot and has a 40 mile round trip to
collect groceries.
