I happened to be in montreal this week, not knowing about the tournament.

I was visiting round 3. I could see with my own eyes how Kouperman beat Lubarski in a strong "model"-game.

Hello André, Hello Bert !!

This Saturday afternoon, Damier Club De Rouen received DOMINIQUE HIBON who played in MONTREAL this year. He informed us ( amid of lot of informations) that J.M SIMON and Paulvin SIMON are brothers for instance.
Remember that DOMINIQUE HIBON was a student in MONTREAL.
DOMINIQUE HIBON was born in REUNION ISLAND ( French Indian Ocean).
Now D. HIBON lives in EVREUX , about 50 km from ROUEN ( NORMANDY-WEST OF FRANCE)

2. Kouperman 9 pts
3. Lubarski 8 pts
4. Alias 7 pts
5. Alexandre 7 pts

Last night (5th round) Kouperman beat Alexandre. This morning Paulvin Simon drew Kouperman, while Lubarski drew Alexandre. Shang Wong beat Alias and Carisse beat Blanchard.
More details to come, along with games and pictures (and some shots of Bert Zwart too!).
The GMI Abdoulaye Der arrived last night after problems with his flight. He unfortunately couldn't play but will do a blind simultaneous session tonight. Him and the two Haitian stars will be staying in Montreal for another week...
