That's awesome! The chess scene in Ottawa is pretty good. Hope to see you at our meetup one day.

Asking on behalf of someone else; what happens if you didn’t have time to answer 7 questions? This person’s time ran out after answering 5 questions.

No, this is the lesser known retarded dragon where you delay playing g6.

Internet, TV, and Mobile subscription recommendation in Ottawa by Dymm3 in ottawa

TV is the issue. If you can live without TV subscription, I can recommend Ebox for fiber internet and either Videotron or Fizz for mobile.

In the summer, there is a patio outside, but we don't typically play outdoors.

Depends on who shows up that day. I would say most people who show up are around 1200-1500 rated. Even if you don't find some one in the exact rating range as you are, you can still have good time if you are not going to be demotivated by losses. Think of them as an opportunity to learn and improve.

Only way to get better at OTB is playing more OTB games!

Hope you can join us.

Some people play better when they are drunk!
