Congratulations to our new BC Champion, NM Yidong (Jason) Chen. Yidong won on tie-break over FM Jingyun (Ryan) Yang, CM Zachary Liu and FM Grigorii Morozov, all with 4.5/7.
The BC Women’s Championship was won by Dahlia Quinn with 5/6. Charlotte Prokscha finished 2nd with 4.5/6 and Sofia Vigurs 3rd with 4/6.

Two months ago, the BCCF awarded the 2027 BC Open (Family Day Weekend 13-15 February) to Richmond Chess Champions after a review of competing bids and a vote.
Instead of respecting the outcome, the losing bidder, Lulu Island Chess, has scheduled a conflicting event on the same weekend and in the same venue.
This detrimental action has the potential to cause a significant financial loss to the organizer of the 2027 BC Open and reflects badly on the state of organized chess in BC.
If you are considering playing chess on Family Day Weekend, you are encouraged to participate in the genuine BC Open.
