Kingston was the site of the annual Quebec-Ontario Team competition on Saturday June 6, 2009. The event is sponsored by the Chess'n Math Association.
In the K-3 Division, Quebec was represented by 3 teams from l’Académie Michel-Provost and Ontario was represented by Seneca Hill, Huron School, and North Prep.
Surprise! The B team l’Académie came first, after having finished 2nd at the Quebec Championship in April. Congratulations to Christine Gao, Louis Charles Campagna, Justin Vittecoq et Charles Olivier Vachon. The "A" team from l’Académie Michèle-Provost (Evan Zhang Bowen Liu Evan Puligadra and Volodymyr Buslayev) beat out North Prep on tie-break (Alon Kosshvili, Jonathan Gitman, David Liu et Yoav Kosashvili). The very successful coach at l’Académie Michèle-Provost is Paul Nataf who has been stimulating young minds for decades!

Thanks to all the participants! Thanks to Frank Dixon who took care of getting us the excellent facilities at Queen's University and helped out during this one day event.
Next year we hope to expand the event.
