Supporting Local Chess: Fédération québécoise des échecs

In English, that's something like "The Chess Federation of Quebec" or "The Quebec Chess Federation." Quebec - specifically, Montreal, is the second stop on the Goddesschess tour of local chess events. I complement the webmaster of the website for the Chess Federation of Canada, for having an up-to-date website! From that website we easily located the Quebec Chess Federation and also learned about the upcoming 2008 Canadian Open Chess Championship, which is being held in Montreal, Quebec this year!!! Dates for this event are July 19 - 27, 2008.
