Stephen Wright HERE AND THERE 33rd Andorra Open (July 18-26) Another B.C. player in Europe this summer is Max Gedajlovic, who is currently competing in the Andorra Open, held in the Pyrenean village of Erts. Leading the 160-player field are GMs Julio Granda Zuniga, Andrey and Yuri Vovk, Vladislav Tkachiev, and Artur Kogan with 4.5/5; Max has 3.0 points from the yo-yo effect (losses against an IM and GM, wins against class A and B players). Standings Quebec Open (July 17-25) In this millenium the Quebec Open has merged with the Canadian Open three times (2002, 2008, 2014). This year the Quebec Open has merged again, this time with the Championnats individuels d'échecs de la Francophonie (Individual chess championships of French-speaking countries – although entrants don’t need to be able to speak French). After six rounds two of the nine GMs participating are tied for first, Samy Shoker (Egypt) and Romain Edouard (France), closely followed by Canada’s Eric Hansen. The field includes five players from this province, Jason Cao, Ethan and Kevin Low, Kai Richardson, and Doug Sly, although it appears that Jason has withdrawn after five rounds having scored 3.0 points – whether this is from illness or a result of his punishing recent tournament schedule is not known.
